What's a GeneRIF?
  1. Transcriptional levels of MHC-I, MHC-IIa, and MHC-IIb in denervation groups were significantly down-regulated compared with controls
    Title: Transition of myosin heavy chain isoforms in human laryngeal abductors following denervation.
  2. MyHC-2b was always co-expressed with the major MyHC isoforms, not only with the fast ones (MyHC-2a and -2x) but with the slow isoform (MyHC-1) as well.
    Title: Myosin heavy chain-2b transcripts and isoform are expressed in human laryngeal muscles.
  3. NMMII and actin isoform expression changes coordinately with the remodeling phase of repair, and NMMII is increased as matrix stiffness increases. As NMMII expression increases, so does the fibroblast contractility.

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.
