    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.

    1. NM_001287821.2 → NP_001274750.1  protein zwilch homolog isoform 2

      See identical proteins and their annotated locations for NP_001274750.1

      Status: VALIDATED

      Description
      Transcript Variant: This variant (2) uses an alternate splice site at an internal exon, compared to variant 1. This difference results in predicted translation initiation at a downstream in-frame start site through ribosomal re-initiation or leaky scanning. The encoded isoform (2) is shorter than isoform 1. Variants 2, 3, and 4 encode the same protein.

      Description
      Transcript Variant: This variant (3) uses an alternate splice site at an internal exon and lacks an exon, compared to variant 1. These differences result in predicted translation initiation at a downstream in-frame start site through ribosomal re-initiation or leaky scanning. The encoded isoform (2) is shorter than isoform 1. Variants 2, 3, and 4 encode the same protein.
