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.

    Status: REVIEWED

    Description
    Transcript Variant: This variant (2) has an alternate splice site in the coding region, which does not affect the reading frame, compared to variant 1. The resulting isoform (2) is 3 aa longer than isoform 1.

    Status: REVIEWED

    Description
    Transcript Variant: This variant (3) lacks several exons and its transcription extends past a splice site that is used in variant 1, resulting in an immediate translation termination and a novel 3' UTR compared to variant 1. The resulting isoform (3) has a shorter C-terminus, compared to isoform 1.
