What's a GeneRIF?

A structural analysis using circular dichroism, fluorescence spectroscopy, molecular modelling and dynamics was performed to investigate the role that residue G(298) plays in the catalytic mechanism of Ap-B
Title: Mutation in the substrate-binding site of aminopeptidase B confers new enzymatic properties.
Results suggest that the upregulation of serotonergic activity may be related to a lowered brain dipeptidyl peptidase III, alanyl- and arginyl aminopeptidase activity which may have an influence on the cleavage of their physiological substrates.

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
