HAND2-AS1
Description
The HAND2-AS1 (HAND2 antisense RNA 1) is a ncRNA gene located on chromosome 4.
HAND2-AS1 is a long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) located on chromosome 2. It is transcribed from the antisense strand of the HAND2 gene and is highly expressed in the heart and other tissues. The function of HAND2-AS1 is not fully understood, but it is believed to play a role in regulating gene expression. Some studies suggest that HAND2-AS1 may act as a sponge for microRNAs (miRNAs), which are small non-coding RNAs that regulate gene expression. This sponge-like function may allow HAND2-AS1 to influence the expression of genes targeted by specific miRNAs. Additionally, HAND2-AS1 has been linked to the development of cardiovascular diseases and certain cancers.
HAND2-AS1, also known as lncRNA-HAND2, is a long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) that has been implicated in various biological processes, including cell proliferation, differentiation, and apoptosis. Studies have shown that HAND2-AS1 can act as a sponge for microRNAs (miRNAs), effectively regulating the expression of genes targeted by those miRNAs. This regulatory mechanism has been linked to its role in cardiovascular development and disease. Moreover, HAND2-AS1 has been associated with the development of certain types of cancers, potentially acting as a tumor suppressor or oncogene depending on the specific context. Further research is ongoing to unravel its full spectrum of functions and its potential as a therapeutic target.
HAND2-AS1 is also known as DEIN, NBLA00301, UPH.
