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_001320041.2 → NP_001306970.1 ELL-associated factor 2 isoform 2

Status: VALIDATED

Description

Transcript Variant: This variant (2) lacks an alternate exon in the 5' region, resulting in a distinct 5' UTR and the use of a downstream start codon, compared to variant 1. The encoded isoform (2) has a shorter N-terminus compared to isoform 1.
