SAMD12-AS1


Description

The SAMD12-AS1 (SAMD12 antisense RNA 1) is a ncRNA gene located on chromosome 8.

SAMD12-AS1 is a long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) that has been implicated in various biological processes, including tumorigenesis and cancer progression. It is thought to regulate gene expression, possibly by acting as a molecular sponge for microRNAs or by interacting with proteins. However, the precise mechanisms by which SAMD12-AS1 functions remain to be fully elucidated.

SAMD12-AS1 is a long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) that is thought to play a role in regulating gene expression. Studies suggest that SAMD12-AS1 may be involved in tumorigenesis and cancer progression. For example, SAMD12-AS1 has been shown to be upregulated in several types of cancer, including colorectal cancer, lung cancer, and hepatocellular carcinoma. In these cancers, SAMD12-AS1 appears to promote cell proliferation, migration, and invasion. However, the exact mechanisms by which SAMD12-AS1 regulates these processes are not fully understood. It is possible that SAMD12-AS1 acts as a molecular sponge to regulate the expression of microRNAs, which are small non-coding RNAs that regulate gene expression. Alternatively, SAMD12-AS1 may interact with other proteins to regulate gene transcription or translation. Further research is needed to elucidate the precise role of SAMD12-AS1 in cancer development and progression.

SAMD12-AS1 is also known as C8orf26, NCRNA00252.
