AceView summary
Expression: According to AceView, this gene is well expressed, 0.8 times the average gene in this release, at all stages, except in embryos (and dauers) [Kohara cDNAs]. The sequence of this gene is defined by 10 cDNA clones.
Alternative mRNA variants and regulation: The gene contains 6 distinct gt-ag introns. Transcription produces 2 alternatively spliced mRNAs. There are 2 validated alternative polyadenylation sites (see the diagram). The mRNAs appear to differ by splicing versus retention of one intron.
Protein coding potential: The 2 spliced mRNAs putatively encode good proteins, altogether 4 different isoforms (2 complete, 2 COOH complete). No phenotype has yet been reported to our knowledge: this gene's in vivo function is yet unknown.

Alternative mRNAs are shown aligned from 5' to 3' on a virtual genome where introns have been shrunk to a minimal length. Exon size is proportional to length, intron height reflects the number of cDNA clones supporting each intron. Superimposed introns of the same color are identical, of different colors are different.
Mouse over the ending of each transcript gives tissues from which the supporting cDNAs were extracted. Click on any transcript to open the specific mRNA page, to see the exact cDNA clone support and eventual SNPs and to get details on tissues, sequences, mRNA and protein annotations. Details on tissue of origin for each intron and exon is available from the intron and exons table. Good predicted proteins are in pink, yellow proteins may be partial or unconvincing, green are uORFs. Proteins supported by a single continuous GenBank accession lead to underlining the name/ending of the variant. Names not underlined result from cDNA concatenation in the coding region and should be experimentally checked.
