    Summary
    This gene is located in a cluster of imprinted genes on chromosome 14q32.3. It encodes a a non-protein coding transcript that is preferentially expressed from the maternal allele in skeletal muscle, and appears to be coordinately regulated with other imprinted genes in this region. [provided by RefSeq, Oct 2010]
    Expression
    Biased expression in adrenal (RPKM 3.1), placenta (RPKM 2.2) and 6 other tissues See more

    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.
