What's a GeneRIF?

Competitive Interactions between PIRT, the Cold Sensing Ion Channel TRPM8, and PIP2 Suggest a Mechanism for Regulation.
Title: Competitive Interactions between PIRT, the Cold Sensing Ion Channel TRPM8, and PIP(2) Suggest a Mechanism for Regulation.
These results have uncovered species-specific TRPM8 modulation by PIRT. They provide evidence for a direct interaction between PIRT and the TRPM8 S1-S4 domain with a 1:1 binding stoichiometry, suggesting that a functional tetrameric TRPM8 channel has four PIRT-binding sites.
Title: Phosphoinositide-interacting regulator of TRP (PIRT) has opposing effects on human and mouse TRPM8 ion channels.

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.
