MIRLET7BHG
Description
miR-let7b-hG is a member of the let-7 family of microRNAs, small non-coding RNA molecules that regulate gene expression. It is encoded by the MIRLET7BHG gene and is involved in various cellular processes, including proliferation, differentiation, and apoptosis. miR-let7b-hG has been implicated in a range of human diseases, including cancer, cardiovascular disease, and neurodegenerative disorders. Research is ongoing to unravel the complex mechanisms by which miR-let7b-hG exerts its influence and its potential as a therapeutic target.
Associated Diseases
- Cancer (e.g., lung, breast, colon)
- Cardiovascular disease (e.g., heart failure, atherosclerosis)
- Neurodegenerative disorders (e.g., Alzheimer‘s disease, Parkinson‘s disease)
- Inflammatory diseases
Did you know?
miR-let7b-hG is particularly interesting because it is a highly conserved microRNA, meaning its sequence is very similar across different species, suggesting its important role in fundamental biological processes.
