Gm20604 - predicted gene 20604

This locus represents naturally occurring readthrough transcription between the neighboring AK010878 (cDNA sequence AK010878) and Moap1 (modulator of apoptosis 1) genes on chromosome 12. The readthrough transcript encodes a protein that shares sequence identity with the upstream gene product but its C-terminal region is distinct due to frameshifts relative to the downstream gene.
