The correlation of CDX2 with Reg IV expression was demonstrated in ovarian mucinous carcinoma. Reg IV expression was enhanced by transfection of CDX2 and was suppressed by inhibition of CDX2 expression. OMC-3 cells with ectopically overexpressed CDX2 showed enhanced apoptosis and sensitivity to 5-FU.

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.
