NPPA-AS1
Description
The NPPA-AS1 (NPPA antisense RNA 1) is a ncRNA gene located on chromosome 1.
NPPA-AS1 is a long non-coding RNA that acts as an antisense transcript of the NPPA gene, which encodes the precursor of cardiodilatin-related peptide and atrial natriuretic factor. NPPA-AS1 is alternatively spliced.
NPPA-AS1 is a long non-coding RNA that acts as an antisense transcript of the NPPA gene. This means it is transcribed from the same region of DNA as NPPA but in the opposite direction. Its specific function is not yet fully understood, but it is thought to play a role in regulating the expression of NPPA.
NPPA-AS1 is also known as NPPA-AS, NPPAAS.
