HOTAIR drives autophagy in midbrain dopaminergic neurons in the substantia nigra compacta in a mouse model of Parkinson's disease by elevating NPTX2 via miR-221-3p binding.
Title: HOTAIR drives autophagy in midbrain dopaminergic neurons in the substantia nigra compacta in a mouse model of Parkinson's disease by elevating NPTX2 via miR-221-3p binding.
Narp expression is stimulated by naturally occurring vestibular input. Narp may mediate ongoing adjustments in synaptic strength or connectivity in several pathways linked to the vestibular system.
Title: Prominent expression of Narp in central vestibular pathways: selective effect of labyrinth ablation.
This study suggested that mPFC Narp is necessary for extinction of opiate seeking in the Pavlovian-conditioned place preference paradigm but not in the operant paradigm of drug self-administration.
Title: Neuronal activity-regulated pentraxin expressed in medial prefrontal cortex neurons is not necessary for extinction of heroin self-administration.
Downregulation of GluR2 subunit in the inferior colliculus may contribute to audiogenic seizure mediated epileptogenesis, while upregulation of Narp may also be involved.
Title: AGS-induced expression of Narp is concomitant with expression of AMPA receptor subunits GluR1 and GluR2 in hippocampus but not inferior colliculus of P77PMC rats.

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.
