GeneRIFs: Gene References Into Functions

What's a GeneRIF?

Data indicate that the presence of thyrostimulin in the ovary suggests that it may have a primitive function in reproduction when it activates ovarian TSHR.
Title: Thyrostimulin, but not thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH), acts as a paracrine regulator to activate the TSH receptor in mammalian ovary.
Results describe the differential expression of the thyrostimulin subunits, glycoprotein alpha2 and beta5 in the rat pituitary, and suggest that the thyrostimulin system is functionally different from the thyroid-stimulating hormone system.
Title: Differential expression of the thyrostimulin subunits, glycoprotein alpha2 and beta5 in the rat pituitary.
Thyrostimulin immunoreactivity was visualized in the anterior pituitary, central nervous system, adrenal gland, stomach, duodenum, pancreas and testis; findings suggest that thyrostimulin is widely distributed [thyrostimulin]
Title: Distribution of thyrostimulin in the rat: an immunohistochemical study.

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.
