This locus represents naturally occurring readthrough transcription between the neighboring Palm2 (paralemmin 2) and Akap2 (A kinase (PRKA) anchor protein 2) genes on chromosome 4. The readthrough transcript encodes a fusion protein that shares sequence identity with each individual gene product. Similar readthrough transcription has also been observed in human, as described in PMID: 11478809. [provided by RefSeq, Feb 2015]
