What's a GeneRIF?

ER membrane protein complex subunit 4 (EMC4) and EMC7 support SV40 infection by promoting from the late endosome (LE) to the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) targeting of the virus. They do this by engaging LE-associated Rab7, to stabilize contact between the LE and ER. These EMC subunits also bind to the ER-resident fusion machinery component syntaxin18, which is required for SV40-arrival to the ER.

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.
