What's a GeneRIF?

Mrj(-/-) chorions at embryonic day 8.5 have expanded Rhox4b expression domains and do not form normal layers of gene expression suggesting that chorion patterning requires Mrj.
Title: Cell-cell adhesion defects in Mrj mutant trophoblast cells are associated with failure to pattern the chorion during early placental development.
These results suggest that NFY is an essential regulatory factor for Ehox transcriptional activity, which is important for the post-implantation stage of the developing embryo.
Title: Cloning and characterization of the 5'-flanking region of the Ehox gene.
Results suggest that Ehox is a novel homeobox-containing gene that is essential for the earliest stages of murine ES cell differentiation.
Title: Cloning and characterization of Ehox, a novel homeobox gene essential for embryonic stem cell differentiation.
Ehox is expressed in trophoblast stem cells and pharyngeal pouch endoderm

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.
