Gene: ZFAS1

Alternate names for this Gene: C20orf199|HSUP1|HSUP2|NCRNA00275|ZNFX1-AS1

Gene Summary: This gene represents a snoRNA host gene that produces a non-coding RNA. Increased expression or amplification of this locus is associated with cancer progression and metastasis. This transcript regulates expression of genes involved in differentiation. It may act a molecular sponge for microRNAs. Alternatively spliced transcript variants have been observed.

Gene is located in Chromosome: 20

Location in Chromosome : 20q13.13

Description of this Gene: ZNFX1 antisense RNA 1

Type of Gene: ncRNA
