    Summary
    Predicted to enable protein homodimerization activity; protein kinase binding activity; and ubiquitin protein ligase activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including positive regulation of autophagy; positive regulation of canonical NF-kappaB signal transduction; and regulation of viral entry into host cell. Predicted to be located in nucleus. Predicted to be active in cytosol and nucleoplasm. [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Nov 2024]

    2. EGF significantly upregulated RFPL3 and hTERT protein levels in the nonsmall cell lung cancer cells. RFPL3 and hTERT proteins upregulation by EGF were attenuated by pretreatment with AG1478 and erlotinib. EGF promoted proliferation and inhibited apoptosis; PD98059 decreased RFPL3 and hTERT protein expression; and RFPL3 overexpression increased the expression of hTERT and related MEKpathway proteins

    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.
