Summary: The protein encoded by this gene is a secreted heparin-binding growth factor. The protein has significant roles in cell growth and survival, cell migration, angiogenesis and tumorigenesis. Alternative splicing and the use of alternative promoters results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Oct 2016]

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)

NM_001321386.2 → NP_001308315.1 pleiotrophin isoform 1 precursor

Status: REVIEWED

Description

Transcript Variant: This variant (2) differs in the 5' UTR and represents use of an alternate promoter, compared to variant 1. Both variants 1 and 2 encode the same protein. This variant represents use of an upstream long terminal repeat (LTR) promoter and exon sequence, and results in placenta-specific expression. (PMID: 8962128)

Status: REVIEWED

Description

Transcript Variant: This variant (3) uses an alternate in-frame splice site in the 3' coding region, compared to variant 1. This results in a shorter protein (isoform 2), compared to isoform 1.
