Gene: MIR31HG

Alternate names for this Gene: LncHIFCAR|hsa-lnc-31

Gene Summary: This gene produces a long non-coding RNA that acts as a host gene for miR-31. This transcript may be involved in cellular pluripotency and regulate the differentiation of myoblasts and other tissues. This RNA was found to interact with Polycomb repressive proteins to repression transcription of genes involves in cell senescence.

Gene is located in Chromosome: 9

Location in Chromosome : 9p21.3

Description of this Gene: MIR31 host gene

Type of Gene: ncRNA
