Remarks:
Current gene models in Gene database for mouse Apaf-1 present 2, alternatively spliced transcripts
(GI:110347464 and GI:110347470). They differ in a region which is optionally spliced out in variant 2. It
appears Coldwell et al. (2000) have used the second splice variant, with the optional intron excised as
they refer in their article to mouse Apaf-1 having 5'-UTR long 585bp (which is the case of GI:3694812) and
which aligns well with the second splice variant GI:110347470. The difference between the original record
GI:3694812 and current model for splice variant 2 is an extension of 5'-UTR by 40 bp at the 5'-extremity.
Below is shown the region with the optional intron (the alignment of 5'-ends of 5'UTRs is in the record with
pRMmAF plasmid annotation IRESiteID:343):
