MicroRNA 6724-1 (MIR6724-1)

MicroRNA 6724-1 is a predicted, non-coding RNA gene classified as a microRNA. Like other microRNAs, it is involved in the post-transcriptional regulation of gene expression, typically by binding to the 3' untranslated regions (UTRs) of messenger RNAs (mRNAs) and repressing their translation or promoting their degradation. The mature miRNA, produced by Dicer processing of a stem-loop precursor, is incorporated into the RNA-induced silencing complex (RISC), guiding gene silencing effects. There is evidence from RNA sequencing studies that a related miRNA-offset RNA (moR-6724-1-5p) is expressed in human B cells and plasma cells and may be differentially regulated in multiple myeloma subgroups, but the specific molecular functions and validated disease links of MIR6724-1 are currently unknown.
