The abbreviated name of this ORF/gene:
MNT
The description of the protein encoded in this ORF:
MAX binding protein
The translational frameshift (ribosome slippage) involved:
  0
The ribosome read-through involved:
  no
The alternative forms of this protein occur by the alternative initiation of translation:
  no
The ORF absolute position (the base range includes START and STOP codons or their equivalents):
  253-2001
Remarks:
Promoter of the MNT gene is approx. -200 bases from the translations start. The region -180/+1 was tested in a
promoter-less construct and was without promoter activity. The region to -400 bases from the translations
start had about 5/27 activity of the SV40 promoter. Transcript integrity was verified by RNase-protection
assay. [Stoneley et al. (2001)]

According to very few human mRNAs available in GenBank this sequence (NM_020310.2) protrudes at the 5'-end by
40bp (compared to mRNA entry X96401 which could have been an incomplete RT-PCR product, of course). Hits to
mRNAs of other mammals seem to confirm that this RefSeq sequence is rather correct.

Possibility of cryptic promoter presence was excluded by the use of a promoter-less plasmid (Figure 3D).
Possibility of aberrantly spliced products was only studied by Northern blot (Figure 3C).
[Mitchell et al. (2005)]

The sequence shown in Mitchell et al. (2005) in Figure 5B(ii) as 5'-UTR is shorter by 52 bp on the left to our
belief. The sequence used in IRESite (NM_020310.2) is matching with some short insertions full-length cDNA
sequence from H-INV database HIT000324941.7 but in overall it seems to be quite OK. In contrast, a GenBank
record AK291596 seems to be different splice variant with extended 5'-UTR.
