AIFM3 was significantly more expressed in breast cancer tissues than in normal tissues. There was a significant association of AIFM3 expression with tumor size, lymph node metastasis, molecular typing and TNM staging. Lymph node metastasis and TNM stage were independent factors of AIFM3 expression. High AIFM3 expression was related to a shorter OS and DFS.

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.

NM_001018060.3 → NP_001018070.1 apoptosis-inducing factor 3 isoform 2

See identical proteins and their annotated locations for NP_001018070.1

Status: VALIDATED

Description

Transcript Variant: This variant (2) lacks an in-frame exon in the 3' coding region compared to variant 1. This results in a shorter protein (isoform 2) compared to isoform 1.

NR_027464.2 RNA Sequence

Status: VALIDATED

Description

Transcript Variant: This variant (4) has an alternate 5' exon and lacks two internal exons, compared to variant 1. This variant is represented as non-coding due to the presence of an upstream ORF that is predicted to interfere with translation of the longest ORF; translation of the upstream ORF renders the transcript a candidate for nonsense-mediated mRNA decay (NMD).
