FENDRR - FOXF1 adjacent non-coding developmental regulatory RNA Gene
Also Known as FOXF1AS1; FOXF1-AS1; lincFOXF1; TCONS_00024240; onco-lncRNA-21
Species: Homo sapiens
About FENDRR
This gene has 14 transcripts (splice variants). Biased expression in lung (RPKM 13.0), urinary bladder (RPKM 9.3) and 9 other tissues.
Summary
This gene produces a spliced long non-coding RNA transcribed bidirectionally with FOXF1 on the opposite strand. A similar gene in mouse is essential for normal development of the heart and body wall. The encoded transcript is thought to act by binding to polycomb repressive complex 2 (PRC2) and/or TrxG/MLL complexes to promote the methylation of the promoters of target genes, thus reducing their expression. It has been suggested that this transcript may play a role in the progression of gastric Cancer. Alternatively spliced transcript variants have been identified. [provided by RefSeq, Mar 2015]
