Comment | Comment: VALIDATED REFSEQ: This record has undergone validation or preliminary review. The reference sequence was derived from AK008666.1, AK162979.1 and AC139568.5. Transcript Variant: This variant (2) has an alternate 3' exon, as compared to variant 1. The resulting isoform (2) is shorter and has a different C-terminus, as compared to isoform 1. Sequence Note: This RefSeq record was created from transcript and genomic sequence data to make the sequence consistent with the reference genome assembly. The genomic coordinates used for the transcript record were based on transcript alignments. ##Evidence-Data-START## Transcript exon combination :: AK162979.1 [ECO:0000332] RNAseq introns :: single sample supports all introns SAMN01164133 [ECO:0000348] ##Evidence-Data-END## |
