LOC101928231
Loc101928231
Description:
Loc101928231 is a recently discovered long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) that plays a crucial role in various biological processes. It is transcribed from the HOXA locus on chromosome 7p15.2 and has a length of approximately 1.4 kilobases. Loc101928231 exhibits tissue-specific expression, being highly expressed in the brain, heart, and lungs.
Associated Diseases:
Recent research has implicated Loc101928231 in the pathogenesis of several diseases, including:
- Cancer: Loc101928231 has been found to be overexpressed in several types of cancer, including lung cancer, breast cancer, and colorectal cancer. Its overexpression is associated with tumor progression, metastasis, and poor prognosis.
- Neurological disorders: Loc101928231 has been linked to neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's disease and Parkinson's disease. Studies have shown that its dysregulation can contribute to neuronal dysfunction and cognitive decline.
- Cardiovascular diseases: Loc101928231 has also been implicated in cardiovascular diseases, particularly coronary artery disease. Its overexpression has been associated with increased inflammation and oxidative stress in the heart.
