DANCR
Description
The DANCR (differentiation antagonizing non-protein coding RNA) is a ncRNA gene located on chromosome 4.
DANCR, or Differentiation-associated non-coding RNA, is a long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) that does not code for a protein. It plays a vital role in controlling cell development, growth, and programmed cell death. Its involvement has been observed in various biological activities, including embryonic development, cancer formation, and immune responses. DANCR acts by interacting with proteins and other RNAs, which ultimately influences gene expression. The expression levels of DANCR are often changed in disease conditions, making it a potential target for disease diagnosis and treatment.
DANCR (Differentiation-associated non-coding RNA) is a long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) that plays a crucial role in regulating cell differentiation, proliferation, and apoptosis. It has been implicated in various biological processes, including embryonic development, tumorigenesis, and immune responses. DANCR interacts with multiple proteins and other RNAs to modulate gene expression at the transcriptional and post-transcriptional levels. Its expression patterns are often altered in disease states, suggesting its potential as a diagnostic and therapeutic target.
DANCR is also known as AGU2, ANCR, KIAA0114, SNHG13, lncRNA-ANCR.
