Summary microRNAs (miRNAs) are short (20-24 nt) non-coding RNAs that are involved in post-transcriptional regulation of gene expression in multicellular organisms by affecting both the stability and translation of mRNAs. miRNAs are transcribed by RNA polymerase II as part of capped and polyadenylated primary transcripts (pri-miRNAs) that can be either protein-coding or non-coding. The primary transcript is cleaved by the Drosha ribonuclease III enzyme to produce an approximately 70-nt stem-loop precursor miRNA (pre-miRNA), which is further cleaved by the cytoplasmic Dicer ribonuclease to generate the mature miRNA and antisense miRNA star (miRNA*) products. The mature miRNA is incorporated into a RNA-induced silencing complex (RISC), which recognizes target mRNAs through imperfect base pairing with the miRNA and most commonly results in translational inhibition or destabilization of the target mRNA. The RefSeq represents the predicted microRNA stem-loop. [provided by RefSeq, Sep 2009] This gene expresses a non-coding RNA, and functions as a tumor suppressor. The gene is located in an imprinted region of chromosome 11 near the insulin-like growth factor 2 (IGF2) gene. Expression of this gene and IGF2 are imprinted so that this gene is only expressed from the maternally-inherited chromosome, and IGF2 is only expressed from the paternally-inherited chromosome. A region of paternal-specific methylation upstream of this gene is required for the imprinting of these genes. Mutations in this gene are associated with Beckwith-Wiedemann Syndrome and Wilms tumorigenesis. [provided by RefSeq, Mar 2009]
