BDNF-AS
Description
The BDNF-AS (BDNF antisense RNA) is a ncRNA gene located on chromosome 11.
BDNF-AS is a long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) that is transcribed from the opposite strand of the BDNF gene. It is located on chromosome 11 and is involved in regulating the expression of the BDNF gene, which encodes a protein that is important for neuronal growth, survival, and plasticity.
BDNF-AS, also known as brain-derived neurotrophic factor antisense transcript, is a long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) located on chromosome 11. It is transcribed from the opposite strand of the BDNF gene and plays a regulatory role in the expression of BDNF. BDNF-AS has been implicated in various cellular processes, including neuronal survival, differentiation, and synaptic plasticity. It has been shown to interact with the BDNF gene and influence its transcription. However, the exact mechanisms by which BDNF-AS regulates BDNF expression remain under investigation. Studies have suggested that BDNF-AS might function as a molecular sponge for microRNAs, thereby indirectly affecting BDNF expression. Moreover, BDNF-AS has been linked to neurodevelopmental disorders, neurodegenerative diseases, and mental health conditions, highlighting its potential importance in brain function. Further research is needed to fully understand the complex roles of BDNF-AS in the brain and its implications for health and disease.
BDNF-AS is also known as ANTI-BDNF, BDNF, BDNF-AS1, BDNFAS, BDNFOS, NCRNA00049.
