    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.

      Status: VALIDATED

      Description
      Transcript Variant: This variant (3) has an alternate exon in place of the first three exons, uses an alternate in-frame splice junction at the 5' end of an internal exon, and lacks an alternate in-frame exon compared to variant 1. Translation starts in the alternate exon, so the resulting isoform (3) has a shorter and distinct N-terminus, contains an alternate internal segment, and lacks an alternate internal segment compared to isoform 1.
