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_001042439.2 → NP_001035904.1  BPI fold-containing family A member 3 isoform 2 precursor

    See identical proteins and their annotated locations for NP_001035904.1

    Status: VALIDATED

    Description
    Transcript Variant: This variant (2) lacks an alternate exon in the coding region compared to variant 1. The resulting protein (isoform 2) is shorter but has the same N- and C-termini compared to isoform 1.
