DUXAP8 Gene

HGNC Family Homeoboxes
Name double homeobox A pseudogene 8
Description Homeobox genes encode DNA-binding proteins, many of which are thought to be involved in early embryonic development. Homeobox genes encode a DNA-binding domain of 60 to 63 amino acids referred to as the homeodomain. This pseudogene is a member of the DUXA homeobox gene family. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
Summary
{"type": "root", "children": [{"type": "p", "children": [{"type": "t", "text": "\nPseudogene‐derived long noncoding RNA DUXAP8 is emerging as a potent oncogenic regulator in several human malignancies. In esophageal, bladder, pancreatic cancers and neuroblastoma, DUXAP8 is frequently upregulated, where it promotes cell proliferation, migration and invasion while inhibiting apoptosis. Mechanistically, DUXAP8 functions chiefly as a competing endogenous RNA that “sponges” tumor‐suppressive microRNAs, thereby relieving repression of oncogenic targets and facilitating aggressive growth and poor patient outcomes."}, {"type": "fg", "children": [{"type": "fg_fs", "start_ref": "1", "end_ref": "4"}]}, {"type": "t", "text": ""}]}, {"type": "t", "text": "\n\n"}, {"type": "p", "children": [{"type": "t", "text": "\nIn additional cancer types, including studies in renal cell carcinoma models and colorectal cancer, as well as in hepatocellular carcinoma, upregulation of DUXAP8 contributes to malignant transformation by interacting with specific microRNAs and epigenetic modifiers.
