How to find a FASTA (CDS) of specified sequence?

Hi every one, I have next trouble:

I'm making a work where I have to find CDS sequence of Gutamine synthase of Arabidopsis thaliana, well I have a trouble with a gen because Gene Model: AT3G53180.1 and has not accession for NCBI and in tair is very longer compared with the other genes, what can I do, can I remove the extremes of longer sequence?

fasta glutamine-synthase arabidopsis sequence gene

Well, for that gene is only one transcript associated to the gene (AT3G53180.1 at Ensembl), looks longer than other species, but this is expected in plants (Compara tree). I don't know what analyzes do you want, so maybe it's better to keep the full sequence until you know what you doing.

You can try to in-silico predict the CDS, with a tool like TransDecoder, and see how the results match to reference entry. If the situation is quite desperate, you can take the following, very time-consuming move: look for Arabidopsis RNA-Seq data at SRA and try to extract/de-novo assemble isoforms for that gene with tools like Trinity or TopHat.
