Summary
Caution, this is an AI generated summary based on literature. This may have errors. ?
MIR138-2 is a microRNA encoded by a specific genomic locus in mice, with its expression being post-transcriptionally regulated and detectable in tissues where a certain Dicer inhibitor is absent [PMC2647296]. Unlike other microRNAs with proximal NKX2-5 binding sites, MIR138-2 is not dysregulated, suggesting a unique regulatory mechanism [PMC6828809]. It has been identified as one of the microRNAs significantly associated with CAG length in the brain and has been implicated in various biological processes, including cancer [PMC5764268]. MIR138-2 has also been linked to tumor suppression and other cancer-related processes [PMC9763387]'>PMC9763387], as well as to type 2 diabetes through differentially methylated regions associated with the gene [PMC9763387]. This locus has undergone duplication events, indicating its potential importance in genomic variation and disease association [PMC8005705].
