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_001306199.2 → NP_001293128.1  histone-lysine N-methyltransferase SETD7 isoform 2

    Status: VALIDATED

    Description
    Transcript Variant: This variant (2) uses an alternate 3' terminal exon that results in a different 3' UTR and a novel 3' coding region compared to variant 1. It encodes isoform 2, which is shorter than and has a novel C-terminus compared to isoform 1.

    Status: VALIDATED

    Description
    Transcript Variant: This variant (3) differs in the 3' UTR, lacks exons in the 3' coding region, and has a 3' end that extends into an intron compared to variant 1. The resulting isoform (3) has a shorter and distinct C-terminus compared to isoform 1.

RNA

    Status: VALIDATED

    Description
    Transcript Variant: This variant (4) contains an alternate internal exon, lacks alternate exons, and has a 3' end that extends into an intron compared to variant 1. 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).
