Transcript Variant: |
This variant (2) uses an alternate 5' splice site, compared to variant 1. This variant represents translation initiation at a downstream AUG compared to variant 1; the 5'-most initiation codon, as used in variant 1, is associated with a truncated ORF that would render the transcript a candidate for nonsense-mediated decay (NMD). Leaky scanning may allow translation initiation at the downstream AUG. The encoded protein (isoform 2) has a shorter N-terminus, compared to isoform 1. |
