    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) lacks multiple 3' coding exons and uses an alternate 3' terminal exon compared to variant 1. A very short 57 aa open reading frame can be translated but is unlikely to be functional, and therefore this variant is presumed to be noncoding.
