These results delineate a novel role of MKRN2 in negatively regulating NF-kappaB-mediated inflammatory responses, cooperatively with PDLIM2.
Title: MKRN2 is a novel ubiquitin E3 ligase for the p65 subunit of NF-κB and negatively regulates inflammatory responses.
The authors developed an Mrkn2 knockout mouse model to study the role of this gene, and found that deletion of Mkrn2 in mice led to male infertility and expression of Odf2, a vital protein in spermatogenesis, was significantly decreased.
Title: Deficiency of Mkrn2 causes abnormal spermiogenesis and spermiation, and impairs male fertility.

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.
