Also known as: DVS27; IL1F11; NF-HEV; NFEHEV; C9orf26
Summary: The protein encoded by this gene is a cytokine that binds to the IL1RL1/ST2 receptor. The encoded protein is involved in the maturation of Th2 cells and the activation of mast cells, basophils, eosinophils and natural killer cells. Several transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Sep 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.

Status: REVIEWED

Description

Transcript Variant: This variant (9) lacks alternate exons in the 5' UTR, lacks a portion of the 5' coding region, and initiates translation at an alternate start codon, compared to variant 1. The promoter and 5' terminal exon sequence is from an endogenous retroviral LTR (PMID: 28715472). The resulting isoform (f),has a distinct N-terminus and is shorter than isoform 1. The encoded protein is expressed in a subset of colon cancer cells.
