USP2-AS1
Description
The USP2-AS1 (USP2 antisense RNA 1) is a ncRNA gene located on chromosome 11.
USP2-AS1 is a long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) located on chromosome 16 in humans. It is transcribed from the antisense strand of the USP2 gene, a ubiquitin-specific protease gene. USP2-AS1 has been found to be dysregulated in a variety of cancers, suggesting its potential role in cancer development and progression.
USP2-AS1 (also known as lncRNA-USP2) is a long non-coding RNA that has been implicated in various cellular processes, including cell proliferation, apoptosis, and tumorigenesis. It has been shown to act as a sponge for microRNAs (miRNAs), thereby regulating the expression of target genes. In cancer, USP2-AS1 has been observed to exhibit both oncogenic and tumor suppressive roles depending on the specific cancer type and cellular context. It has been found to promote cancer cell growth and metastasis in some cancers, while in others it acts as a tumor suppressor by inhibiting cell proliferation and promoting apoptosis.
USP2-AS1 is also known as THY1-AS1, gLINC.
