The most potent compound tested targeted the human Neu4 isoenzyme, and was able to substantially reduce the rate of cell migration. We found that the lateral mobility of integrins was reduced by treatment of cells with Neu3, suggesting that Neu3 enzyme activity resulted in changes to integrin-co-receptor or integrin-cytoskeleton interactions

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.

Status: REVIEWED

Description

Transcript Variant: This variant (2) uses an alternate acceptor splice site at one of the coding exons compared to variant 1, resulting in an isoform (2) that is 1 aa longer than isoform 1.

Description

Transcript Variant: This variant (3) contains an alternate exon at the 5' end compared to variant 1, resulting in translation initiation from an in-frame downstream AUG, and an isoform (3, also known as NEU4 short) with a shorter N-terminus compared to isoform 1. Variants 3-5 encode the same isoform.

Description

Transcript Variant: This variant (4) contains an alternate exon at the 5' end and uses an alternate acceptor splice site at the next exon compared to variant 1. This results in translation initiation from an in-frame downstream AUG, and an isoform (3, also known as NEU4 short) with a shorter N-terminus compared to isoform 1. Variants 3-5 encode the same isoform.
