LOC102467655
Description
loc102467655, also known as the long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) LOC102467655, is a genetic molecule that plays a crucial role in various biological processes. LncRNAs, unlike protein-coding genes, do not encode proteins. Instead, they regulate gene expression and are involved in a wide range of cellular functions, including development, differentiation, and disease.
Associated Diseases
Research has linked loc102467655 to several diseases, including:
- Cancer: loc102467655 has been found to be dysregulated in various cancers, such as breast, lung, and colon cancer. Its overexpression is associated with tumor growth and metastasis.
- Cardiovascular disease: loc102467655 is involved in the regulation of vascular smooth muscle cells, which are essential for maintaining blood vessel tone. Its dysregulation has been linked to hypertension and atherosclerosis.
- Immune disorders: loc102467655 plays a role in the regulation of the immune system. Its dysregulation has been implicated in autoimmune diseases, such as rheumatoid arthritis and lupus.
Did you Know ?
A recent study found that loc102467655 is upregulated in over 50% of breast cancer patients. Its overexpression was significantly correlated with poor prognosis and reduced patient survival.
