Summary
This gene produces a long non-coding RNA that is localized to the nuclear matrix. This RNA contains repeated sequence motifs that mediate interactions with heterogeneous nuclear ribonucleoprotein U (hnRNPU). Loss of expression of this locus disrupts three-dimensional chromosomal associations. Alternative splicing results in multiple splice variants, though the full length nature of these variants is not known. [provided by RefSeq, Mar 2015]

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.
