Also known as: Pgc7; STELLA
Summary: This gene encodes a protein that in mice may function as a maternal factor during the preimplantation stage of development. In mice, this gene may play a role in transcriptional repression, cell division, and maintenance of cell pluripotentiality. In humans, related intronless loci are located on chromosomes 14 and X.

What's a GeneRIF?

Stella employs a multilayered mechanism to achieve robust UHRF1 inhibition, which involves the dissociation from chromatin and cytoplasmic sequestration of UHRF1.
Title: Stella protein facilitates DNA demethylation by disrupting the chromatin association of the RING finger-type E3 ubiquitin ligase UHRF1.
Super-enhancers at the Nanog locus differentially regulate neighboring pluripotency-associated genes, in particular, DPPA3.
Title: Super-Enhancers at the Nanog Locus Differentially Regulate Neighboring Pluripotency-Associated Genes.
We conclude that heterogeneous population of the HEK293T cells might be easily shifted towards expression of the pluripotency markers by ectopic expression of the SON factors or by growth in serum depleted media.
Title: Pluripotency induction in HEK293T cells by concurrent expression of STELLA, OCT4 and NANOS2.
Data suggest enforced expression of Stella into normal cells induces not only global DNA demethylation but also neoplastic transformation and increases metastatic ability; these changes involve altered regulation of neoplastic gene expression.
Title: Global DNA hypomethylation coupled to cellular transformation and metastatic ability.
Considering that impaired DNA methylation profiles are associated with various developmental or disease phenomena, Stella may be a powerful tool with which to study the biological effects of global DNA hypomethylation

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.
