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.

    Description
    Transcript Variant: This variant (3) lacks an exon and uses an alternate splice site, which results in an alternate in-frame segment in the 5' coding region, and it contains an alternate 3' terminal exon and thus differs in the 3' coding region and 3' UTR, compared to variant 1. The encoded isoform (c) has a distinct C-terminus and is shorter than isoform a.

RNA

  1. NR_104423.2 RNA Sequence

    Status: VALIDATED

    Description
    Transcript Variant: This variant (5) lacks two exons and uses two alternate splice sites in the 5' region, compared to variant 1. 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).
