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) differs in the 5' UTR, lacks an in-frame portion of the 5' coding region, and initiates translation at an alternate start codon, compared to variant 1. This variant is considered to be 5' complete based on evidence from PMID: 15601917. The encoded isoform (c) contains a distinct N-terminus and is shorter than isoform a.
