REVIEWED REFSEQ: This record has been curated by NCBI staff. The\nreference sequence was derived from AB012104.\nCOMPLETENESS: full length.
TAA stop codon is completed by the addition of 3' A residues to the mRNA
This stem-loop structure may function as an origin for replicating the light strand of mtDNA.
T at 7775 is a looped-out nucleotide in the acceptor stem, which is not present in the corresponding position for other vertebrates. This may be corrected by an RNA editing or other mechanisms.
TAA stop codon is completed by the addtion of 3' A residues to the mRNA; frameshift mechanism unknown
