What's a GeneRIF?

in normal tissues the tandem of serine carboxypeptidases, Scpep1 and CathA likely constitutes an important part of the physiological mechanism responsible for the balanced elimination of heightened levels of ET-1 that otherwise would accumulate in tissues and consequently contribute to development of the hyper-proliferative corneal dystrophy and abnormal skin thickening
Title: Mice, double deficient in lysosomal serine carboxypeptidases Scpep1 and Cathepsin A develop the hyperproliferative vesicular corneal dystrophy and hypertrophic skin thickenings.
our results define the biological role of mammalian serine carboxypeptidase Scpep1 and suggest that Scpep1 and CathA together participate in the control of ET-1 regulation of vascular tone and hemodynamics
Title: Serine carboxypeptidase SCPEP1 and Cathepsin A play complementary roles in regulation of vasoconstriction via inactivation of endothelin-1.
A closer look to the mRNA transcriptome allowed authors to identify upregulation of five miRISC genes, including Dgcr8 and Fmr1, and Ago2, which were later confirmed by real time PCR.
Title: Aberrant brain microRNA target and miRISC gene expression in the anx/anx anorexia mouse model.
SCPEP1 promotes smooth muscle cell proliferation and migration in a catalytic triad-dependent, cleavage-independent manner.
Title: Functional characterization of a putative serine carboxypeptidase in vascular smooth muscle cells.
Scpep1-deficient mice were viable and fertile, and did not exhibit either lysosomal storage or reduced lysosomal SC activity under any tested condition.

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.
