Genes with "AK#### or BC#####" in UCSC genome browser

In UCSC's genome browser, in the UCSC genes track, there are genes with names like

"AK125749"

"BC043543"

https://genome.ucsc.edu/cgi-bin/hgTracks?db=hg19&position=chr16%3A86638082-87389581&hgsid=424735207_Pl93QOaMVxkha4ECPsCKSOrWvb7V

Are there other gene appellations like these? What are they? Can you tell the meaning of the appelation from the prefix? How does one find out about such a gene?

Thank you!
