GeneRIFs: Gene References Into Functions

What's a GeneRIF?

Data show abundant mPRalpha (PAQR7), mPRbeta (PAQR8), and mPRgamma (PAQR5), but not classical nuclear PR (A or B isoforms) mRNA expression and mPRalpha protein expression in a panel of commonly used ovarian cancer cell lines.
Title: Expression of membrane progesterone receptors (mPR/PAQR) in ovarian cancer cells: implications for progesterone-induced signaling events.
Heterologous expression of MPRB in yeast confirms its ability to function as a membrane progesterone receptor.
Title: Heterologous expression of human mPRalpha, mPRbeta and mPRgamma in yeast confirms their ability to function as membrane progesterone receptors.
LMPB1 is indeed an integral membrane protein that targets to lysosomal structures.

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.
