| Gene Summary: | This locus represents naturally occurring read-through transcription between the neighboring PMF1 (polyamine-modulated factor 1) and BGLAP (bone gamma-carboxyglutamate Gla protein) genes on chromosome 1. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants encoding isoforms that share sequence identity with the upstream gene product, but they contain distinct C-termini due to frameshifts versus the downstream gene coding sequence.
