What's a GeneRIF?

Androgen receptors are localized to astrocytes versus neurons, further solidifying the role for astrocytes in neural recovery.
Title: Injury-induced expression of glial androgen receptor in the zebra finch brain.
males had higher numbers of cells expressing HSD17B4 and androgen receptor (AR) mRNA, as well as a greater degree of co-localization of HSD17B4 and AR, in song nucleus than did females.
Title: The effects of estradiol on 17β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type IV and androgen receptor expression in the developing zebra finch song system.

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.
