What's a GeneRIF?

protocadherin alpha3 performs functions unique from classic cadherins in spermatogenesis and suggest a role for protocadherin alpha3 in organizing germ cell-specific structures including the intercellular bridge, flagellum, and acrosome.
Title: Protocadherin alpha3 acts at sites distinct from classic cadherins in rat testis and sperm.

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.
