DSG2-AS1
Description
The DSG2-AS1 (DSG2 antisense RNA 1) is a ncRNA gene located on chromosome 18.
DSG2-AS1 is a long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) that is located on chromosome 18. It is transcribed from the opposite strand of the desmoglein 2 (DSG2) gene, which encodes a cell adhesion molecule that is important for the formation and maintenance of desmosomes. DSG2-AS1 has been shown to play a role in regulating the expression of DSG2, and it may also have other functions. The exact mechanisms by which DSG2-AS1 exerts its effects are still being investigated.
DSG2-AS1 is a long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) that has been shown to play a role in regulating the expression of the desmoglein 2 (DSG2) gene. DSG2 is a cell adhesion molecule that is important for the formation and maintenance of desmosomes, which are cell-cell junctions that provide structural support to epithelial tissues. Studies have shown that DSG2-AS1 can act as a sponge for microRNAs, such as miR-124-3p, which can bind to and regulate the expression of DSG2. By sequestering these microRNAs, DSG2-AS1 can indirectly promote the expression of DSG2, thereby contributing to the formation of functional desmosomes.
DSG2-AS1 is also known as -.
