Gene Symbol:

TUNAR Homo sapiens

Full name:

TCL1 upstream neural differentiation-associated RNA

Synonyms:

HI-LNC78, LINC00617, TUNA, Human Islet Long Non Coding RNA 78, Tcl1 upstream neuron-associated lincRNA, long intergenic non-protein coding RNA 617

Genomic Location:

N/A

Description:

This gene produces a spliced long non-coding RNA that may play a role in maintaining pluripotency and the neural differentiation of embryonic stem cells. Expression of this lncRNA in the caudate nucleus of brains from Huntington's Disease patients has been found to decrease as the disease progresses. It has also been suggested that this transcript ...

This gene produces a spliced long non-coding RNA that may play a role in maintaining pluripotency and the neural differentiation of embryonic stem cells. Expression of this lncRNA in the caudate nucleus of brains from Huntington's Disease patients has been found to decrease as the disease progresses. It has also been suggested that this transcript may play a role in the progression of breast cancer. Alternatively spliced transcript variants have been identified.
