WWC2-AS1
Description
The WWC2-AS1 (WWC2 antisense RNA 1) is a ncRNA gene located on chromosome 4.
WWC2-AS1 is a long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) that is located on chromosome 12 and is transcribed from the opposite strand of the WWC2 gene. It is involved in various cellular processes such as cell proliferation, migration, and invasion, acting as both a tumor suppressor and an oncogene depending on the cellular context. Its function is mediated by interacting with microRNAs and regulating gene expression at both transcriptional and post-transcriptional levels.
WWC2-AS1, also known as lncRNA-WWC2-1, is a long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) that has been implicated in a variety of cellular processes, including cell proliferation, migration, and invasion. It is located on chromosome 12 and is transcribed from the opposite strand of the WWC2 gene. Studies have shown that WWC2-AS1 can act as both a tumor suppressor and an oncogene, depending on the cellular context. In some cancers, WWC2-AS1 expression is downregulated, and its loss contributes to tumor progression. In other cancers, WWC2-AS1 expression is upregulated, and it promotes tumor growth and metastasis. The specific mechanisms by which WWC2-AS1 exerts its effects are still being investigated, but it is thought to regulate gene expression at both the transcriptional and post-transcriptional levels. For example, WWC2-AS1 has been shown to interact with microRNAs (miRNAs), which are small non-coding RNAs that regulate gene expression. By sequestering miRNAs, WWC2-AS1 can prevent them from binding to their target mRNAs, thereby increasing the expression of those target genes.
WWC2-AS1 is also known as -.
