MicroRNA-124 (miR-124)

Target
miR-124
Molecular classification
Small non-coding RNA, microRNA
01

Overview

MicroRNA-124 (miR-124) is a small non-coding RNA molecule that regulates gene expression at the post-transcriptional level. It is highly expressed in the central nervous system and immune cells, playing critical roles in neuronal differentiation, immune modulation, and tumor suppression. It functions by binding to target mRNAs, leading to their degradation or translational repression. miR-124 has potential as a therapeutic target and biomarker for various diseases, particularly cancer and neurological disorders.
