    What's a GeneRIF?
    1. The data demonstrated that the abnormal proliferation of vascular smooth muscle cells induced by conditions of high cyclic strain is in part attributed to ACTH and its receptor MC2R.

    2. Data suggest that increases in adrenal blood flow induced by Ang II (angiotensin II)/Agtr2 signaling are mediated by release of nitric oxide and EETs (epoxyeicosatrienoic acids); increases in adrenal blood flow with ACTH (adrenocorticotropic hormone)/Mc2r receptor signaling are mediated by EETs only. (Agtr2 = angiotensin II receptor; Mc2r = ACTH receptor)

    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.
