In molecular biology mir-671 microRNA is a short RNA molecule. MicroRNAs function to regulate the expression levels of other genes by several mechanisms.
Alcoholic and Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease
[edit]miR-671 expression levels have been found to be vary significantly between the alcoholic and non-alcoholic forms of fatty liver disease.[1]
CDR1 regulation
[edit]miR-671 has been seen to negatively regulate the CDR1 (Cerebellar Degeneration-Related protein 1) gene, through the targeting and cleavage of a circular antisense transcript of the CDR1 locus. There is a partnered decrease in CDR1 mRNA levels with this downregulation.[2]
FN1 repression
[edit]miR-671 is able to bind to and repress fibronection type 1 (FN1) mRNA at its 3'untranslated region binding site.[3]
