What's a GeneRIF?

Calpain-6 deficiency reduced the percentage of ciliated cells and impaired sonic hedgehog signaling. It has been speculated that this defect might be associated with decreased levels of alpha-tubulin acetylation at lysine 40.
Title: Deficiency of calpain-6 inhibits primary ciliogenesis.
CAPN6 promotes atherogenicity in inflamed macrophages by disturbing CWC22/EJC systems.
Title: Calpain-6 confers atherogenicity to macrophages by dysregulating pre-mRNA splicing.
These results collectively showed that a loss of CAPN6 promotes skeletal muscle differentiation during both development and regeneration, suggesting a novel physiological function of CAPN6 as a suppressor of skeletal muscle differentiation.
Title: Calpain-6 deficiency promotes skeletal muscle development and regeneration.
CAPN6 acts as a regulator of Rac1 and cell motility through interaction with GEF-H1.
Title: Calpain-6, a microtubule-stabilizing protein, regulates Rac1 activity and cell motility through interaction with GEF-H1.
Capn6 promotes cytoskeletal organization and microtubule stability in osteoclasts.
Title: Calpain-6, a target molecule of glucocorticoids, regulates osteoclastic bone resorption via cytoskeletal organization and microtubule acetylation.
Capn6 is a microtubule-stabilizing protein expressed in embryonic tissues that may be involved in the regulation of microtubule dynamics and cytoskeletal organization.

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.
