    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.

    1. NM_001301009.2 → NP_001287938.1  V-set and transmembrane domain-containing protein 2A isoform 2 precursor

      Status: VALIDATED

      Description
      Transcript Variant: This variant (2) differs in the 3' coding region due to the use of an alternate splice site in the 3'-terminal exon, compared to variant 1. The encoded isoform (2) has a longer and distinct C-terminus, compared to isoform 1.

      Status: VALIDATED

      Description
      Transcript Variant: This variant (3) lacks one exon, and its 3' terminal exon extends past a splice site that is used in variant 1. This results in a novel 3' coding region and 3' UTR, compared to variant 1. The encoded isoform (3) has a shorter and distinct C-terminus, compared to isoform 1.

    RNA

    1. NR_133927.2 RNA Sequence

      Status: VALIDATED

      Description
      Transcript Variant: This variant (4) lacks several exons, uses an alternate 5'-terminal exon, and an alternate splice site in the 3'-terminal exon, compared to variant 1. This variant is represented as non-coding because the predicted protein does not meet RefSeq quality criteria.
