What's a GeneRIF?

The pituitary hormone Fsh promoted the formation of type A undifferentiated spermatogonia and Sertoli cells by stimulating Leydig cell production of the non-canonical Wnt ligand Wnt5a.
Title: Fsh stimulates Leydig cell Wnt5a production, enriching zebrafish type A spermatogonia.
There is an important role of Wnt5a in kidney development. Disrupted Wnt5a results in kidney cysts in zebrafish and pleiotropic abnormal kidney development in mice.
Title: Wnt5a is necessary for normal kidney development in zebrafish and mice.
Wnt5a acts as a chemoattractant in the emerging limb bud where it contributes to the establishment of cell polarity that is likely to underlie the oriented cell behaviours
Title: Oriented cell motility and division underlie early limb bud morphogenesis.

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.
