    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.

      Description
      Transcript Variant: This variant (3) lacks an alternate exon in the coding region which results in the use of a downstream start codon initially in a different reading frame, compared to variant 1. The resulting protein (isoform 3) has a shorter and distinct N-terminus yet matches most of the protein when it is compared to isoform 1.
