See http://www.uniprot.org/uniprot/Q96NU1: There is a known variant at this position http://www.uniprot.org/blast/?about=Q96NU1[343]&key=Sequence%20conflict

I'm not sure how the UCSC uses this information to fill the KnownGenePep table.

Strange. I wonder why these aren't wild type? I found a few thousand sequences like this in knownGenePep.
