loc101929512
Description:
Loc101929512, also known as the long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) LOC101929512, is a regulatory molecule that plays a crucial role in various biological processes. It is located on chromosome 10 in humans and consists of approximately 1,100 nucleotides. LncRNAs do not code for proteins but interact with proteins, miRNAs, and other RNA molecules to exert their effects.
Associated Diseases:
Loc101929512 has been implicated in the pathogenesis of several diseases, including:
- Cancer: Studies have shown that dysregulated expression of LOC101929512 is associated with the development and progression of various cancers, including breast cancer, gastric cancer, and lung cancer.
- Cardiovascular disease: LOC101929512 has been found to be involved in the regulation of endothelial cell function and vascular smooth muscle cell proliferation, suggesting its role in cardiovascular disease development.
- Neurodegenerative diseases: Altered expression of LOC101929512 has been observed in neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's disease and Parkinson's disease, implying its potential involvement in their pathogenesis.
Did you Know ?
A study published in the journal "Nature Genetics" found that a specific single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) in the LOC101929512 gene was significantly associated with an increased risk of developing breast cancer in women. This finding highlights the potential clinical significance of this lncRNA in cancer predisposition.
