MIR431
Description
The MIR431 (microRNA 431) is a ncRNA gene located on chromosome 14.
MIR431 is a microRNA encoded by the human gene MIR431. MicroRNAs are short, non-coding RNA molecules that play a regulatory role in gene expression. They function by binding to messenger RNA (mRNA) molecules, which can lead to the degradation or translational inhibition of the mRNA. The specific targets and functions of MIR431 are still being studied, but it has been implicated in a variety of cellular processes, including cell growth, development, and cancer progression.
The function of MIR431 is still under investigation. Some studies suggest that it may play a role in regulating cellular growth and development, while others indicate it could be involved in cancer progression. More research is needed to fully understand its specific functions.
MIR431 is also known as MIRN431, hsa-mir-431, miRNA431, mir-431.
