Mir-192/215 microRNA precursor

The miR-192 microRNA precursor (homologous to miR-215), is a short non-coding RNAgene involved in gene regulation. miR-192 and miR-215 have now been predicted or experimentally confirmed in mouse and humancite journal |author=Lagos-Quintana M, Rauhut R, Meyer J, Borkhardt A, Tuschl T |title=New microRNAs from mouse and human |journal=RNA |volume=9 |issue=2 |pages=175–9 |year=2003 |pmid=12554859 |doi=] .( [http://microrna.sanger.ac.uk/cgi-bin/sequences/mirna_summary.pl?fam=MIPF0000063 MIPF0000063] ).
microRNAs are transcribed as ~70 nucleotideprecursors and subsequently processed by the Dicer enzyme to givea ~22 nucleotide product. In this case the mature sequence comes fromthe 5' arm of the precursor. The mature products are thought to haveregulatory roles through complementarity to mRNA cite journal |author=Ambros V |title=microRNAs: tiny regulators with great potential |journal=Cell |volume=107 |issue=7 |pages=823–6 |year=2001 |pmid=11779458 |doi=] .
