LOC101928891
Description
Loc101928891 is a long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) that plays a crucial role in regulating gene expression. LncRNAs are RNA molecules that do not code for proteins, but they can influence the expression of other genes. Loc101928891 is located on chromosome 10 and has been found to be involved in various biological processes, including cell growth, differentiation, and apoptosis.
Associated Diseases
Alterations in the expression of Loc101928891 have been linked to several diseases, including:
- Cancer: Loc101928891 overexpression has been observed in various types of cancer, such as lung cancer, breast cancer, and colon cancer. It is believed to promote cancer cell proliferation, invasion, and metastasis.
- Neurodegenerative diseases: Reduced expression of Loc101928891 has been implicated in neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's disease and Parkinson's disease. It is thought to contribute to neuronal dysfunction and cell death.
- Cardiovascular diseases: Dysregulation of Loc101928891 has been associated with cardiovascular diseases, including atherosclerosis and heart failure. It is believed to affect lipid metabolism and promote inflammation.
Did you Know ?
A study published in the journal "Nature Medicine" found that patients with lung cancer who had high levels of Loc101928891 had a significantly worse prognosis than those with low levels. This suggests that Loc101928891 could be a potential target for lung cancer therapy.
