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.

mRNA and Protein(s)

  1. NM_001331102.2 → NP_001318031.1  THAP domain-containing protein 8 isoform b

    Status: VALIDATED

    Description
    Transcript Variant: This variant (2) uses an alternate in-frame splice junction compared to variant 1. The resulting isoform (b) has the same N- and C-termini but is shorter compared to isoform a.

    THAP; The THAP domain is a putative DNA-binding domain (DBD) and probably also binds a zinc ion

RNA

  1. NR_138539.2 RNA Sequence

    Status: VALIDATED

    Description
    Transcript Variant: This variant (5) is represented as non-coding because the use of the 5'-most expected translational start codon renders the transcript a candidate for nonsense-mediated mRNA decay (NMD).
