    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.

      Status: VALIDATED

      Description
      Transcript Variant: This variant (2) lacks an exon in the 5' end which causes translation initiation from a downstream, in-frame start codon, compared to variant 1. The encoded protein (isoform b) has a shorter N-terminus, compared to isoform a.
