What's a GeneRIF?

Elongation of very long chain fatty acids-3 (Elovl3) is activated by ZHX2 and is a regulator of cell cycle progression.
Title: Elongation of very long chain fatty acids-3 (Elovl3) is activated by ZHX2 and is a regulator of cell cycle progression.
Study found that BRG1 expression was up-regulated along with Elvol3 in prostate cancer cells. BRG1 over-expression dose-dependently augmented the induction of the Elovl3 promoter activity, suggesting that regulation of Elovl3 expression by BRG1 occurred at the transcriptional level.
Title: The chromatin remodeling protein BRG1 links ELOVL3 trans-activation to prostate cancer metastasis.

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.
