About VTRNA2-1
This gene has 1 transcript (splice variant), 71 orthologues and 8 paralogues.
Summary
This gene produces an RNA polymerase III transcript that resembles both a component of the ribonucleoprotein vault particle and a pre-microRNA. However, the RNA product does not function as a vault or microRNA; rather, it acts as a direct inhibitor of protein kinase R (also known as eukaryotic translation initiation factor 2-alpha kinase 2, EIF2AK2), and thereby plays an important role in the regulation of cell growth. This gene is located in the vicinity of a differentially methylated region (DMR) and is imprinted and may show allele-specific expression. This gene is also often hypermethylated and repressed in cancers. [provided by RefSeq, Nov 2015]
