MicroRNA-101 (miR-101)

Target
miR-101
Molecular classification
Non-coding RNA, MicroRNA
01

Overview

MicroRNA-101 (miR-101) is a small non-coding RNA that functions as a tumor suppressor by regulating key oncogenes and participating in processes like cell proliferation, apoptosis, and tumor invasion. It is often downregulated in various cancers and has been implicated in fibrosis and cardiovascular diseases as well[1][3].

02

Mechanism of action

Primarily through post-transcriptional regulation of gene expression by binding to the 3' untranslated region (3'UTR) of target mRNAs, leading to mRNA degradation or translational inhibition. Targets include oncogenes like EZH2, MCL-1, and FOS[1][2].
