D16Ertd472e is a gene whose function, aliases, and associated pathways are not explicitly detailed in the provided abstract. However, its importance lies in the context of hepatic ischemia reperfusion (IR) injury research. It is among the genes whose alternative splicing was studied, indicating its potential role in processes related to transcript and protein diversity [1].

In a mouse model of hepatic IR injury, D16Ertd472e was one of 898 differentially alternatively spliced (DAS) genes (p ≤ 0.05) identified in the hepatic IR group compared to the sham group. The expression level of D16Ertd472e was verified by RT-PCR and qRT-PCR, suggesting its significance in the context of hepatic IR injury [1].

In conclusion, while the exact biological function of D16Ertd472e remains to be fully elucidated, its differential alternative splicing and expression verification in the hepatic IR injury mouse model indicate its potential importance in understanding the molecular mechanisms of this disease condition. The study of D16Ertd472e in this context contributes to a better understanding of hepatic IR injury and the underlying alternative pre-mRNA splicing dynamics [1].
