    7. eIF3C expression was upregulated in renal cell carcinoma (RCC) tissues and cell lines. Depletion of eIF3C reduced tumor cell proliferation and arrested them at the G1 stage, thus promoting their apoptosis in vitro.

Study demonstrated that upregulated eIF3C expression contributed to the development and progression of RCC.

    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.
