CRYM-AS1
Description
The CRYM-AS1 (CRYM antisense RNA 1) is a ncRNA gene located on chromosome 16.
CRYM-AS1 is a long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) that is located on chromosome 17. It is transcribed from the opposite strand of the CRYstallin, Mu (crystallin, beta/gamma 1) gene, suggesting a potential regulatory relationship. Studies have indicated that CRYM-AS1 may be involved in various cellular processes, including cell proliferation, differentiation, and apoptosis. Its expression has been linked to different eye diseases, hinting at a possible role in maintaining eye health.
The precise function of CRYM-AS1 remains to be fully elucidated. However, studies suggest it might play a role in regulating the expression of the CRYM gene, potentially influencing the development and function of the eye. Additionally, its dysregulation has been linked to various ocular diseases, indicating its potential involvement in maintaining eye health.
CRYM-AS1 is also known as NCRNA00169.
