Summary
This gene is upregulated in inflammatory diseases, and it was first observed as expressed in the differentiated layers of skin. The most interesting aspect of this gene is the differential use of promoters and terminators to generate isoforms with unique cellular distributions and domain components. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been identified for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jun 2010]

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. NR_033746.2 RNA Sequence

    Status: REVIEWED

    Description
    Transcript Variant: This variant (7) differs at its 5' end compared to variant 2. This variant is represented as non-coding due to the presence of an upstream ORF that is predicted to interfere with translation of the longest in-frame ORF compared to variant 2; translation of the upstream ORF renders the transcript a candidate for nonsense-mediated mRNA decay (NMD).
