Summary
This gene encodes a protein containing multiple transmembrane helices. It is a selective surface protein marker of brite/beige adipocytes, which may coexist with classical brown adipocytes in brown adipose tissue. Alternative splicing of this gene results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Dec 2015]

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.

RNA

    Status: REVIEWED

    Description
    Transcript Variant: This variant (2) splices out a portion of the 3' terminal exon found in variant 1. This variant is represented as non-coding because the use of the expected translational start codon, as used in variant 1, renders the transcript a candidate for nonsense-mediated mRNA decay (NMD).

    Status: REVIEWED

    Description
    Transcript Variant: This variant (3) contains alternate 3' exon structure, compared to variant 1. This variant is represented as non-coding because the use of the expected translational start codon, as used in variant 1, renders the transcript a candidate for nonsense-mediated mRNA decay (NMD).
