Summary: This gene encodes an EF-hand-containing calcium binding protein. The encoded protein likely plays a role in calcium homeostasis. Mutations in this gene have been associated with susceptibility to juvenile myoclonic epilepsy and juvenile absence epilepsy. Alternatively spliced transcript variants have been described.

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_001172420.2 → NP_001165891.1 EF-hand domain-containing protein 1 isoform 2

Status: REVIEWED

Description

Transcript Variant: This variant (C) differs in the 5' UTR, lacks a portion of the 5' coding region, and initiates translation at an alternate start codon, compared to variant A. The encoded isoform (2) has a distinct N-terminus and is shorter than isoform 1.

NR_033327.2 RNA Sequence

Status: REVIEWED

Description

Transcript Variant: This variant (B) contains an alternate segment, compared to variant A. This variant is represented as non-coding because the use of the 5'-most supported translational start codon, as used in variant A, renders the transcript a candidate for nonsense-mediated mRNA decay (NMD).
