    Summary
    This gene encodes a member of the chondroitin N-acetylgalactosaminyltransferase family. The encoded protein is involved in elongation during chondroitin sulfate synthesis. Alternative splicing of this gene results in multiple transcript variants. Two related pseudogenes have been identified on chromosome X. [provided by RefSeq, Feb 2016]

    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_001319654.1 → NP_001306583.1  chondroitin sulfate N-acetylgalactosaminyltransferase 2 isoform 2

      Status: REVIEWED

      Description
      Transcript Variant: This variant (2) lacks an alternate exon, which results in a frameshift in the 3' coding region, compared to variant 1. The encoded isoform (2) has a distinct and shorter C-terminus, compared to isoform 1. The 5' UTR is incomplete because no 5'-complete transcripts exist for this variant, and there is splice pattern ambiguity further upstream.

      Status: REVIEWED

      Description
      Transcript Variant: This variant (4) includes an additional exon in the central region, compared to variant 1. This variant is represented as non-coding because the use of the 5'-most expected translational start codon, as used in variant 1, renders the transcript a candidate for nonsense-mediated mRNA decay (NMD).
