What's a GeneRIF?

Pcdh-alphaC2 (alphaC2), a Pcdh-alpha isoform, was highly expressed in serotonergic neurons, and was required for normal diffusion in single-axon-level analyses of serotonergic axons.
Title: Protocadherin-αC2 is required for diffuse projections of serotonergic axons.
conditional deletion of the mouse protocadherin alpha (Pcdhalpha) gene cluster in serotonergic neurons disrupts local axonal tiling and global assembly of serotonergic circuitries and results in depression-like behaviors.
Title: Pcdhαc2 is required for axonal tiling and assembly of serotonergic circuitries in mice.

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.
