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: VALIDATED

    Description
    Transcript Variant: This variant (2) differs in the 5' UTR and 5' coding region, initiates translation at a downstream start codon and uses an alternate splice splice site in the 3' terminal exon, compared to variant 4. This results in a frameshift and an early stop codon, compared to variant 4. Variants 2 and 6 encode the same isoform (2), which is shorter and has a distinct C-terminus, compared to isoform 4.

RNA

  1. NR_110347.1 RNA Sequence

    Status: VALIDATED

    Description
    Transcript Variant: This variant (7) uses an alternate splice site in an internal exon, compared to variant 4. This variant is represented as non-coding because the use of the 5'-most expected translational start codon, as used in variant 1, renders the transcript a candidate for nonsense-mediated mRNA decay (NMD).
