STAM antisense RNA 2 (STAM-AS2)

STAM antisense RNA 2 is an RNA transcript generated from the region of the genome opposite to the STAM2 gene. Antisense RNAs, like STAM-AS2, act at the RNA level to regulate the expression of their sense partner genes through mechanisms such as hybridization to messenger RNA or recruiting chromatin modifiers. While antisense RNAs are broadly important in controlling gene expression, and have been proposed as research and potential therapeutic tools, there is no evidence that STAM-AS2 itself is a characterized therapeutic target, and little to no disease-specific literature describes its phenotype or utility[5][8].

Antisense RNA molecules regulate target genes by binding complementary mRNA and inhibiting translation, or by modifying chromatin state[4][5][8].
