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.

    See identical proteins and their annotated locations for NP_001034738.1

    Status: VALIDATED

    Description
    Transcript Variant: This variant (2) differs in the 3' UTR and has multiple differences in the 3' coding region, compared to variant 3. These differences result in a protein (isoform 2) with a shorter and distinct C-terminus, compared to isoform 3.

    Status: VALIDATED

    Description
    Transcript Variant: This variant (3) represents the longest transcript and encodes the longest isoform (3). There are no full-length transcripts representing the exon combination of this variant in human; it is predicted based on partial transcript alignments, on alignment of the macaque mRNA AB179330.1, and on homology support for the encoded protein.
