Study discovered that calnexin is highly abundant in human brain endothelial cells of multiple sclerosis (MS) patients. Conversely, mice lacking calnexin exhibited resistance to experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis induction, no evidence of immune cell infiltration into the CNS. These findings identify a link between calnexin expression in CNS endothelial cells and neuroinflammation.

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.
