GeneRIFs: Gene References Into Functions

What's a GeneRIF?

Proteomic analysis revealed that the expression levels of two mitochondrial proteins, cytochrome bc1 complex2 (UQCRC2, the major component of electron transport chain complex III) and aconitase (an enzyme involved in the tricarboxylic acid cycle), were decreased by homocysteine in neural stem cells
Title: Inhibitory effect of homocysteine on rat neural stem cell growth in vitro is associated with reduced protein levels and enzymatic activities of aconitase and respiratory complex III.
A mechanism by which ferulenol inhibits this enzymeand demonstrates that mitochondrial dysfunction is an important determinant in Ferula plant toxicity.
Title: Ferulenol specifically inhibits succinate ubiquinone reductase at the level of the ubiquinone cycle.

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.
