H19

Genomic Regulatory Elements · Long Non-Coding RNA Regulation

How can H19 influence development without making a protein?

H19 produces a noncoding RNA that is particularly active before birth. Researchers study its roles in growth regulation, showing that RNA itself can have a biological function.

Common Gene Name
