-actin is downregulated in the corneal stroma of patients with KC, which may be related to reduced levels of a stabilizing factor (HuR) for beta-actin mRNA.

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.
