MESTIT1 Gene

Name MEST intronic transcript 1, antisense RNA
Description This gene encodes a non-protein coding antisense RNA that is imprinted, and preferentially expressed from the paternal allele. It is located in an intron of MEST gene in the opposite orientation, and shares the promoter region in common with one of the promoters (P2) of MEST gene. The antisense RNA is expressed predominantly in testis and mature motile spermatozoa, suggesting that it may be involved in the regulation of MEST expression during development.[provided by RefSeq, Oct 2010]
Summary
{"type": "root", "children": [{"type": "p", "children": [{"type": "t", "text": "\nMESTIT1 is an imprinted, paternally expressed long non‐coding RNA that resides within an intron of one MEST isoform on human chromosome 7 and is transcribed in the opposite orientation to the protein‐coding gene. It is expressed exclusively from the paternal allele in various fetal and adult tissues as a 4.2 kb transcript and lacks a significant open reading frame, suggesting it functions as an RNA regulator rather than encoding a protein. The specific paternal expression pattern of MESTIT1 implies that it may play a role in fine-tuning the allelic expression of MEST during development and could be involved in the broader epigenetic regulation observed at human chromosome 7q32—a region of interest in imprinting disorders."}, {"type": "fg", "children": [{"type": "fg_f", "ref": "1"}]}, {"type": "t", "text": "\n"}]}, {"type": "rg", "children": [{"type": "r", "ref": 1, "children": [{"type": "t", "text": "Kazuhiko Nakabayashi, Louise Bentley, Megan P Hitchins, et al.
