Gene Summary: microRNAs (miRNAs) are short (20-24 nt) non-coding RNAs that are involved in post-transcriptional regulation of gene expression in multicellular organisms by affecting both the stability and translation of mRNAs. miRNAs are transcribed by RNA polymerase II as part of capped and polyadenylated primary transcripts (pri-miRNAs) that can be either protein-coding or non-coding. The primary transcript is cleaved by the Drosha ribonuclease III enzyme to produce an approximately 70-nt stem-loop precursor miRNA (pre-miRNA), which is further cleaved by the cytoplasmic Dicer ribonuclease to generate the mature miRNA and antisense miRNA star (miRNA*) products. The mature miRNA is incorporated into a RNA-induced silencing complex (RISC), which recognizes target mRNAs through imperfect base pairing with the miRNA and most commonly results in translational inhibition or destabilization of the target mRNA. The RefSeq represents the predicted microRNA stem-loop.

Gene: PDXDC2P-NPIPB14P

Alternate names for this Gene: -

Gene Summary: This locus represents naturally-occurring readthrough transcription between two pseudogenes, PDXDC2P (pyridoxal dependent decarboxylase domain containing 2, pseudogene) and NPIPB14P (nuclear pore complex interacting protein family, member B14, pseudogene). The individual pseudogene loci are not curated as transcribed regions. Readthrough transcripts likely do not encode functional proteins.
