What's a GeneRIF?

Targeted disruption of Tex40 (CatSperz) reduces CatSper current and sperm rheotactic efficiency in mice, resulting in severe male subfertility.
Title: CatSperζ regulates the structural continuity of sperm Ca(2+) signaling domains and is required for normal fertility.

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.
