LOC101928489
Description:
Loc101928489, also known as the long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) LINC00465, is a molecule found in human cells. LncRNAs are a class of RNA molecules that do not encode proteins but play crucial roles in gene regulation and other cellular processes.
Loc101928489 is located on chromosome 10 and has a length of approximately 2,500 nucleotides. It is expressed in various tissues, including the brain, heart, and lungs. Recent research indicates that loc101928489 may be involved in several biological processes, including cell proliferation, apoptosis (programmed cell death), and immune regulation.
Associated Diseases:
Alterations in loc101928489 expression have been linked to several diseases, including:
- Cancer: Studies have associated dysregulation of loc101928489 with the development and progression of various cancers, such as breast, liver, and colon cancers.
- Neurological disorders: Abnormal expression of loc101928489 has been implicated in certain neurological disorders, including Alzheimer's disease and Parkinson's disease.
- Cardiovascular diseases: Dysregulated loc101928489 expression has also been associated with cardiovascular diseases, such as atherosclerosis and heart failure.
Did you Know ?
According to a study published in the journal "Nature Medicine," researchers found that individuals with high levels of loc101928489 in their blood had a significantly increased risk of developing metastatic breast cancer. This suggests that loc101928489 may serve as a potential biomarker for predicting cancer metastasis.
