    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 (1) represents the longer transcript and encodes the longer isoform (1). It should be noted that this exon combination lacks full-length transcript support; it is predicted based on partial human and orthologous transcript alignments.

      Status: VALIDATED

      Description
      Transcript Variant: This variant (2) differs in the 5' and 3' UTRs, and lacks several exons in the 3' coding region but includes an alternate 3' exon, compared to variant 1. The resulting isoform (2) has a distinct and shorter C-terminus, compared to isoform 1.
