| Gene Summary: | This locus represents naturally occurring read-through transcription between the neighboring RNASEK (ribonuclease, RNase K) and C17orf49 (chromosome 17 open reading frame 49) genes. The read-through transcript is a candidate for nonsense-mediated mRNA decay (NMD) and is unlikely to produce a protein product. [provided by RefSeq, Jan 2011] |
