What's a GeneRIF?

Authors found that Wfdc21 level was elevated in the CLP-induced animal model and LPS-treated RAW264.7 cells. Furthermore, the downregulation of Wfdc21 modulated the concentration of pro-inflammatory factors in LPS-treated macrophages, such as IL-1beta and TNF-alpha, in LPS-treated macrophages.

PMID:16936091 mostly concerns studies in rat, but shows similarity between rat and mouse WDNM1-like proteins.

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.
