SOX4 as a potential therapeutic target for pathological cardiac hypertrophy.
Title: SOX4 as a potential therapeutic target for pathological cardiac hypertrophy.
Studied role of SOX4 in the occurrence of bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD). Found in total lung tissues, SOX4 and EZH2 expression greatly decreased early and increased late following exposure to hyperoxia; the expression of the EZH2 protein was positively correlated with that of the SOX4 protein.
Title: SOX4 arrests lung development in rats with hyperoxia‑induced bronchopulmonary dysplasia by controlling EZH2 expression.

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.
