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.

NR_102334.2 RNA Sequence

Status: REVIEWED

Description

Transcript Variant: This variant (3) differs in the 5' exon, compared to variant 1. This variant is represented as non-coding due to the presence of an upstream ORF that is predicted to interfere with translation of the longest ORF; translation of the upstream ORF renders the transcript a candidate for nonsense-mediated mRNA decay (NMD).

NR_102335.2 RNA Sequence

Status: REVIEWED

Description

Transcript Variant: This variant (4) contains multiple differences, compared to variant 1, including the lack of multiple 5' exons. It represents use of an internal promoter. This variant is represented as non-coding because the use of the 5'-most expected translational start codon renders the transcript a candidate for nonsense-mediated mRNA decay (NMD).
