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_001289947.2 → NP_001276876.1  glutamate-rich protein 2 isoform 2

    See identical proteins and their annotated locations for NP_001276876.1

    Status: VALIDATED

    Description
    Transcript Variant: This variant (2) differs in the 5' UTR, has multiple coding region differences, and initiates translation at an alternate start codon, compared to variant 1. The encoded isoform (2) has a distinct N-terminus and is shorter than isoform 1.

    Status: VALIDATED

    Description
    Transcript Variant: This variant (3) lacks several exons and its 3' terminal exon extends past a splice site that is used in variant 1. This results in a novel 3' coding region and 3' UTR, compared to variant 1. It encodes isoform 3 which is shorter and has a distinct C-terminus, compared to isoform 1.

RNA

  1. NR_110644.1 RNA Sequence

    Status: VALIDATED

    Description
    Transcript Variant: This variant (4) contains an alternate 5' exon, compared to variant 1. This variant is represented as non-coding because the use of the 5'-most translational start codon, as used in variant 1, renders the transcript a candidate for nonsense-mediated mRNA decay (NMD).
