AATK-AS1
Description
AATK-AS1 is a long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) located on chromosome 17. While it doesn‘t code for proteins, AATK-AS1 plays crucial regulatory roles in various cellular processes, including gene expression, cell proliferation, and apoptosis. This lncRNA has been implicated in several human diseases, highlighting its significance in maintaining cellular homeostasis.
Associated Diseases
- Cancer (e.g., colorectal cancer, pancreatic cancer, breast cancer)
- Neurological disorders (e.g., Alzheimer‘s disease, Parkinson‘s disease)
- Cardiovascular diseases
Did you know?
AATK-AS1 is known to act as a competing endogenous RNA (ceRNA), influencing the activity of other mRNAs by sponging microRNAs.
