While PAK1 and PAK3 share distinct roles in the regulation of spine morphogenesis, their activity may overlap, allowing compensation of the PAK3 deficit by PAK1.

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.
