Disease relevance of NENF

  • The activity of neudesin was inhibited by the inhibitor pertussis toxin for Gi/Go-protein but not by inhibitors for receptor tyrosine kinases [1].
 

High impact information on NENF

  • A 5-6-fold elevation in CIR1/CROC1 expression and a 2-3-fold elevation in CIR2 expression were observed in SV40-transformed human embryonic kidney cells immediately following proliferative crisis, suggesting a potential role for these genes in immortalization [2].
  • The neudesin protein produced in cultured cells was secreted efficiently into the culture medium [1].
  • The human neudesin gene was mapped to chromosome 1p33 [1].
  • Mouse neudesin mRNA was expressed in neurons but not glial cells of the brain [1].
  • Mouse neudesin mRNA was expressed abundantly in the developing brain and spinal cord in embryos, but was expressed widely in postnatal tissues including brain, heart, lung, and kidney [1].
 

Anatomical context of NENF

  • The resulting CIR gene, termed F39scFv/CIR-2, was transfected into human T cells [3].
 

Other interactions of NENF

  • Two transcripts, denoted CIR1 and CIR2, were identified which were up-regulated in immortal cells [2].
