GeneRIFs: Gene References Into Functions

What's a GeneRIF?

Data indicate that biallelic mutation in the UNC50 gene underlies AMC through a probable loss of AChR expression at the neuromuscular junction which is essential for the cholinergic transmission during human muscle development.
Title: Biallelic mutation of UNC50, encoding a protein involved in AChR trafficking, is responsible for arthrogryposis.
depletion of UNC50 blocked early endosome-to-Golgi trafficking and induced lysosomal degradation of STx2. UNC50 acted by recruiting GBF1, an ADP ribosylation factor-guanine nucleotide exchange factor (ARF-GEF), to the Golgi.
Title: Genome-wide siRNA screen identifies UNC50 as a regulator of Shiga toxin 2 trafficking.
UNC50 may plays some roles in HCC progression by affecting the EGFR pathway
Title: UNC50 prompts G1/S transition and proliferation in HCC by regulation of epidermal growth factor receptor trafficking.
UNCL plays important roles in the development, differentiation, and maintenance of periodontal tissues and in the mechanotransduction of periodontal ligament fibroblasts.
Title: Expression of UNCL during development of periodontal tissue and response of periodontal ligament fibroblasts to mechanical stress in vivo and in vitro.

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.
