    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: REVIEWED

      Description
      Transcript Variant: This variant (2) contains an alternate exon near the 5' end compared to variant 1. This difference causes translation initiation at a downstream AUG and results in an isoform (b) with a shorter N-terminus, compared to isoform a.

      Description
      Transcript Variant: This variant (4) contains two alternate exons in place of the first exon compared to variant 1. These differences cause translation initiation at a downstream AUG and result in an isoform (b) with a shorter N-terminus, compared to isoform a. Variants 2 and 4 both encode the same isoform (b).
