Dear Hao, On the description page for that gene (you can get to this page by clicking on the gene when it is displayed in the browser)
http://genome.ucsc.edu/cgi-bin/hgGene?hgg_gene=uc003zpk.1&hgg_prot=P42771&hgg_chrom=chr9&hgg_start=21957750&hgg_end=21965038&hgg_type=knownGene&db=hg18 It states,"This gene generates several transcript variants which differ in their first exons. At least three alternatively spliced variants encoding distinct proteins have been reported, two of which encode structurally related isoforms known to function as inhibitors of CDK4 kinase." Hope that this helps answers your question. If you have further questions, please don't hesitate to contact the mailing list.
