LGALS8-AS1
Description
The LGALS8-AS1 (LGALS8 antisense RNA 1) is a ncRNA gene located on chromosome 1.
LGALS8-AS1 is a long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) that is located on chromosome 12. It is a highly conserved gene and has been shown to be involved in a variety of cellular processes, including cell growth, proliferation, and apoptosis. LGALS8-AS1 has also been implicated in the development of cancer. LGALS8-AS1 is believed to act as a sponge for microRNAs (miRNAs), which are small RNA molecules that regulate gene expression. By binding to miRNAs, LGALS8-AS1 can prevent them from silencing their target genes. This can lead to increased expression of genes that promote cell growth and proliferation, or to decreased expression of genes that promote apoptosis. The role of LGALS8-AS1 in cancer is complex and is still being investigated.
LGALS8-AS1, also known as L-plastin-AS1, is a long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) that is believed to play a role in regulating gene expression. Studies have shown that LGALS8-AS1 expression is altered in various cancers and is associated with tumor progression and metastasis. It has been suggested that LGALS8-AS1 may act as a sponge for microRNAs (miRNAs) involved in cancer cell growth and survival. However, the precise mechanisms by which LGALS8-AS1 exerts its functions remain to be fully elucidated.
