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.

RNA

NR_049743.2 RNA Sequence

Status: VALIDATED

Description

Transcript Variant: This variant (4) uses an alternate splice site in the 5' coding region, compared to variant 2, which results in a frameshift and early stop codon. The transcript is sufficiently abundant to represent as a RefSeq record; however, the predicted protein is not represented because the product is significiantly truncated and the transcript is a candidate for nonsense-mediated mRNA decay (NMD).
