    GeneRIFs: Gene References Into Functions

    What's a GeneRIF?
    1. Results show that UGT2A2 not only shares exons 2-6 with UGT2A1, it also shares with it a similar tissue expression pattern; both UGTs are primarily expressed in nasal epithelium. The 3rd member of UGT2A subfamily, UGT2A3 exhibited a different tissue expression pattern, found mainly in liver and small intestine.

    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.

      Status: VALIDATED

      Description
      Transcript Variant: This variant (2) has an alternate exon in the coding region, compared to variant 1, which results in the introduction of an early stop codon. The transcript is sufficiently abundant to represent as a RefSeq record; however, the predicted protein is not represented because the product is significantly truncated and the transcript is a candidate for nonsense-mediated mRNA decay (NMD).
