What's a GeneRIF?

Mutation of the attractin gene impairs working memory in rats.
Title: Mutation of the attractin gene impairs working memory in rats.
This study indicated that myelinogenesis but not oligodendrogenesis is severely altered both in the white and gray matter of attractin-deficient mv rats.
Title: Abnormal myelinogenesis both in the white and gray matter of the attractin-deficient mv rat.
Attractin defects result in oligodendrocyte dysfunction, and is associated with astrogliosis and microglial activation in mutant rats; attractin may be directly involved in the function of oligodendrocytes in CNS myelination.
Title: Cellular responses in the spinal cord during development of hypomyelination in the mv rat.
Atrn is more widely expressed throughout the CNS than previously reported, and expression of Atrn by various cell types suggests that Atrn may serve multiple functions in the CNS.

There is myelin vacuolation in rats with a null mutation in the gene.

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.
