Sialidase neu4 deficiency is associated with neuroinflammation in mice.
Title: Sialidase neu4 deficiency is associated with neuroinflammation in mice.
Absence of Neu3 and Neu4 leads to defects in cell adhesion and differentiation of epithelial cells resulting in aberrant tubular offshoots that fail to remain connected with the main duct and male infertility. Hence Neu3 and Neu 4 play an essential role in the guidance of epithelial cells during early embryonic formation.
Title: Presence of aberrant epididymal tubules revealing undifferentiated epithelial cells and absence of spermatozoa in a combined neuraminidase-3 and -4 deficient adult mouse model.
These results provide the first in vivo evidence that neuraminidases 3 and 4 have important roles in CNS function by catabolizing gangliosides and preventing their storage in lipofuscin bodies.
Title: Neuraminidases 3 and 4 regulate neuronal function by catabolizing brain gangliosides.

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.
