SNHG20
Description
The SNHG20 (small nucleolar RNA host gene 20) is a ncRNA gene located on chromosome 17.
SNHG20 is a long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) located on chromosome 19. LncRNAs are RNA molecules that do not code for proteins, but they play important regulatory roles in cells. SNHG20 is thought to be involved in gene regulation, potentially influencing the expression of other genes. However, its precise function and mechanisms of action are still being explored.
The specific functions of SNHG20 are currently under investigation. It is believed to play a role in regulating gene expression, potentially through interactions with other RNA molecules or by influencing chromatin structure. Research suggests that SNHG20 may be involved in various cellular processes, including cell proliferation, differentiation, and apoptosis.
SNHG20 is also known as C17orf86, LINC00338, NCRNA00338, SCARNA16HG.
