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.

  1. NM_001144939.2 → NP_001138411.1  vitelline membrane outer layer protein 1 homolog isoform 2 precursor

    Status: VALIDATED

    Description
    Transcript Variant: This variant (2) uses an alternate splice site at the 3' end of exon 2, compared to variant 1. This difference results in a frameshift and a protein (isoform 2) with a shorter and distinct C-terminus, compared to isoform 1.
