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_001290325.1 → NP_001277254.1 ubiquitin carboxyl-terminal hydrolase 38 isoform 2

See identical proteins and their annotated locations for NP_001277254.1

Status: VALIDATED

Description

Transcript Variant: This variant (2) contains a 3' terminal exon that extends past a splice site used in variant 1. This results in a novel 3' coding region and 3' UTR, compared to variant 1. It encodes isoform 2 which is shorter and has a distinct C-terminus, compared to isoform 1.
