What's a GeneRIF?

Knockdown of erasin, a platform for p97/VCP and ubiquilin binding, or knockdown of ubiquilin in human cells slowed degradation of two classical endoplasmic reticulum-associated protein degradation substrates.
Title: Ubiquilin and p97/VCP bind erasin, forming a complex involved in ERAD.
Erasin/UBXD2 may be involved in endoplasmic-reticulum-associated protein degradation and in Alzheimer's disease.
Title: Characterization of erasin (UBXD2): a new ER protein that promotes ER-associated protein degradation.

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.
