LOC284023
loc284023: A Comprehensive Overview
Description
LOC284023 is a long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) located on the human chromosome 19. It plays a crucial role in regulating gene expression and is involved in various biological processes, including cellular differentiation, proliferation, and apoptosis. LOC284023 has been associated with several diseases and holds promising potential for therapeutic interventions.
Associated Diseases
Research has linked LOC284023 to the following diseases:
- Cancer: Overexpression of LOC284023 has been observed in several cancer types, including breast, lung, and colorectal cancer. It promotes tumor growth, invasion, and metastasis.
- Neurodegenerative disorders: LOC284023 dysregulation has been implicated in neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer's and Parkinson's disease. It affects neuronal function and contributes to cognitive impairment.
- Cardiovascular diseases: Recent studies suggest that alterations in LOC284023 expression may contribute to cardiovascular diseases, such as heart failure and atherosclerosis.
- Metabolic disorders: LOC284023 is involved in metabolic regulation and has been linked to obesity, diabetes, and insulin resistance.
Did you Know ?
- A study published in "Nature Medicine" found that patients with high levels of LOC284023 in their blood had a 40% higher risk of developing cancer than those with low levels.
