    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) contains an alternate 5' terminal exon, differs in the 5' UTR, lacks a portion of the coding region, uses a downstrean in-frame start codon and uses an alternate in-frame splice site in the coding region, compared to variant 1. It encodes isoform 2, which is shorter than isoform 1.
