Exploring features and function of Ss-riok-3, an enigmatic kinase gene from Strongyloides stercoralis
Published 2014-12-01“…Unlike the other two members, RIOK-1 and RIOK-2, which are conserved from Archaea to humans, RIOK-3 occurs only in multicellular organisms. Studies on HeLa cells indicate that human RIOK-3 is a component of the 40S small ribosome subunit and supports cancer cell growth and survival. …”

ANGPTL8 promotes adipogenic differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells: potential role in ectopic lipid deposition
Published 2022-08-01“…Abnormal adipogenic differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) is an important cause of lipid deposition in organs. Studies have shown that serum angiopoietin-like protein 8 (ANGPTL8) levels are increased in patients with many chronic metabolic diseases (such as type 2 diabetes, obesity, and hepatic steatosis), while the role of ANGPTL8 in ectopic lipid accumulation has not been reported.MethodsWe used the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database to analyze the expression of ANGPTL8 in subcutaneous adipose tissue of obese patients and qPCR to analyze the expression of ANGPTL8 in the liver of high-fat diet (HFD)-induced obese mice. …”

Large scale transcriptomics analyses for gene function annotation and regulation
Published 2023“…While existing methods such as forward and reverse genetics and determination of protein structure remain the gold standard for the validation of gene function, it is not possible to apply these methods for every single gene in every organism studied. Even in the most well-studied model organisms, such as Arabidopsis, only 42.85% of its protein coding genes are experimentally validated. …”
