Gene: LINC00461
Alternate names for this Gene: ECONEXIN|EyeLinc1|NDIME|VISC
Gene Summary: This is an evolutionarily conserved gene that produces alternatively spliced long non-coding RNAs that may be expressed predominantly in the brain and visual cortex. These transcripts may be involved in tumorigenesis, as depletion by siRNA suppressed glioma cell division. Transcripts may also bind to and regulate the activity of miR-411-5p and argonaut 2, thereby altering the expression of genes involved in tumor growth.
Gene is located in Chromosome: 5
Location in Chromosome : 5q14.3
Description of this Gene: long intergenic non-protein coding RNA 461
Type of Gene: ncRNA
