Gene: NEAT1

Alternate names for this Gene: LINC00084|NCRNA00084|TncRNA|VINC

Gene Summary: This gene produces a long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) transcribed from the multiple endocrine neoplasia locus. This lncRNA is retained in the nucleus where it forms the core structural component of the paraspeckle sub-organelles. It may act as a transcriptional regulator for numerous genes, including some genes involved in cancer progression.

Gene is located in Chromosome: 11

Location in Chromosome : 11q13.1

Description of this Gene: nuclear paraspeckle assembly transcript 1

Type of Gene: ncRNA
