Hello Simon,
Not all protein-coding transcript models have a 3' UTR. If you want to know which transcripts are protein-coding, ask for their biotype.
Cheers,

ENSTs that return nothing from the ‘three_prime_utr’ method should be treated as non-protein coding RNAs. For ENSG00000187634, the API reports that 3/9 transcripts have 3’UTR (as a result of being protein coding). However, the website reports that 5/9 are protein coding. (See here: http://uswest.ensembl.org/Homo_sapiens/Transcript/ProteinSummary?db=core;g=ENSG00000187634;r=1:860260-879955;t=ENST00000342066 )
