Summary
This gene encodes a protein that is similar to the gonadal protein in Drosophila (fruit fly). The encoded protein is thought to play a role in migration of neural crest cells during development. Deletions in the human gene are associated with DiGeorge syndrome (or velocardiofacial syndrome) which has many clinical features including cardiac abnormalities, cleft palate, atypical facial features, hypocalcemia, hypoparathyroidism and defective development or congenital absence of the thymus. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Jan 2014]

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: REVIEWED

    Description
    Transcript Variant: This variant (3) represents the use of an alternate promoter and has multiple differences compared to variant 1. These differences result in a different 5' UTR and cause translation initiation at an alternate start codon compared to variant 1. The encoded isoform (3) has a distinct N-terminus and is shorter than isoform 1.

    Status: REVIEWED

    Description
    Transcript Variant: This variant (4) uses two alternate splice sites compared to variant 1. This variant is represented as non-coding because the use of the 5'-most supported translational start codon, as used in variant 1, renders the transcript a candidate for nonsense-mediated mRNA decay (NMD).
