Name

CERNA1 Gene

competing endogenous lncRNA 1 for miR-4707-5p and miR-4767

MHENCR Gene

melanoma highly expressed competing endogenous lncRNA for miR-425 and miR-489

CREG1 Gene

cellular repressor of E1A-stimulated genes 1

The adenovirus E1A protein both activates and represses gene expression to promote cellular proliferation and inhibit differentiation. The protein encoded by this gene antagonizes transcriptional activation and cellular transformation by E1A. This protein shares limited sequence similarity with E1A and binds both the general transcription factor TBP and the tumor suppressor pRb in vitro. This gene may contribute to the transcriptional control of cell growth and differentiation. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

CREG2 Gene

cellular repressor of E1A-stimulated genes 2

Predicted to be located in Golgi apparatus; endoplasmic reticulum; and extracellular region. Predicted to be active in extracellular space. [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Mar 2025]

MIR142HG Gene

MIR142 host genes

Predicted to be involved in miRNA-mediated post-transcriptional gene silencing. Predicted to be part of RISC complex. [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Mar 2025]

RRH Gene

retinal pigment epithelium-derived rhodopsin homolog

Opsins are members of the guanine nucleotide-binding protein (G protein)-coupled receptor superfamily. This gene belongs to the seven-exon subfamily of mammalian opsin genes that includes opsin 5 and retinal G protein coupled receptor. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

LOC100329129 Gene

proteolipid protein 2 (colonic epithelium-enriched) pseudogene

PLP2 Gene

proteolipid protein 2 (colonic epithelium-enriched)

This gene encodes an integral membrane protein that localizes to the endoplasmic reticulum in colonic epithelial cells. The encoded protein can multimerize and may function as an ion channel. A polymorphism in the promoter of this gene may be linked to an increased risk of X-linked cognitive disability. A pseudogene of this gene is found on chromosome 5. [provided by RefSeq, Jan 2010]

SERPINF1 Gene

serpin peptidase inhibitor, clade F (alpha-2 antiplasmin, pigment epithelium derived factor), member 1

This gene encodes a member of the serpin family that does not display the serine protease inhibitory activity shown by many of the other serpin proteins. The encoded protein is secreted and strongly inhibits angiogenesis. In addition, this protein is a neurotrophic factor involved in neuronal differentiation in retinoblastoma cells. Mutations in this gene were found in individuals with osteogenesis imperfecta, type VI. [provided by RefSeq, Aug 2016]

SERPINF2 Gene

serpin peptidase inhibitor, clade F (alpha-2 antiplasmin, pigment epithelium derived factor), member 2

This gene encodes a member of the serpin family of serine protease inhibitors. The protein is a major inhibitor of plasmin, which degrades fibrin and various other proteins. Consequently, the proper function of this gene has a major role in regulating the blood clotting pathway. Mutations in this gene result in alpha-2-plasmin inhibitor deficiency, which is characterized by severe hemorrhagic diathesis. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Sep 2009]

RPE65 Gene

retinal pigment epithelium-specific protein 65kDa

The protein encoded by this gene is a component of the vitamin A visual cycle of the retina which supplies the 11-cis retinal chromophore of the photoreceptors opsin visual pigments. It is a member of the carotenoid cleavage oxygenase superfamily. All members of this superfamily are non-heme iron oxygenases with a seven-bladed propeller fold and oxidatively cleave carotenoid carbon:carbon double bonds. However, the protein encoded by this gene has acquired a divergent function that involves the concerted O-alkyl ester cleavage of its all-trans retinyl ester substrate and all-trans to 11-cis double bond isomerization of the retinyl moiety. As such, it performs the essential enzymatic isomerization step in the synthesis of 11-cis retinal. Mutations in this gene are associated with early-onset severe blinding disorders such as Leber congenital. [provided by RefSeq, Oct 2017]

MIR17HG Gene

miR-17-92 cluster host gene

This gene is the host gene for the MIR17-92 cluster, a group of at least six microRNAs (miRNAs) that may be involved in cell survival, proliferation, differentiation, and angiogenesis. Amplification of this gene has been found in several lymphomas and solid tumors. Two non-protein coding transcript variants have been found for this host gene, but only the longest is a polycistronic transcript containing the MIR17-92 cluster. [provided by RefSeq, May 2012]

MIR99AHG Gene

mir-99a-let-7c cluster host gene

MIR100HG Gene

mir-100-let-7a-2 cluster host gene

This gene produces long non-coding RNAs that act as regulators of cell proliferation. Alternative promoter usage and splicing results in multiple transcript variants. Some transcript variants may promote growth, while others may act to negatively regulate cell division. [provided by RefSeq, May 2016]

MIR497HG Gene

mir-497-195 cluster host gene

GIHCG Gene

GIHCG inhibitor of miR-200b/200a/429 expression
