What's a GeneRIF?

These results support a concept that downregulation of RREB-1 causes downregulation of ZIP3, which results in decreased zinc in pancreatic premalignant and carcinoma cells
Title: Evidence for changes in RREB-1, ZIP3, and Zinc in the early development of pancreatic adenocarcinoma.
The metallothionein gene had a higher expression in the blood, when compared to zinc transporters ZnT-1, Zip-1, and Zip-3 (p=0.01 in obese patients.
Title: Expression of the zinc transporters genes and metallothionein in obese women.
Data show that the combination of concurrent zinc, ZIP3, and RREB-1 changes represent early events in the development of adenocarcinoma.

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.
