AMRn

AMRn refers to a class of RNA molecules known as antisense messenger RNA. These molecules are naturally occurring and play a role in gene regulation. Unlike messenger RNA (mRNA), which carries genetic code from DNA to ribosomes for protein synthesis, AMRn molecules are transcribed from the opposite strand of a gene and can bind to specific mRNA targets. This binding can influence gene expression in several ways.

AMRn can inhibit protein synthesis by preventing ribosomes from translating the target mRNA. Alternatively, they can promote mRNA degradation, further reducing the amount of protein produced. In some cases, AMRn can also affect mRNA splicing, altering the final protein product. The discovery and study of AMRn have opened new avenues for understanding complex gene regulatory networks and have potential implications for therapeutic interventions. Research into AMRn is ongoing, aiming to further elucidate their diverse roles in cellular processes and their potential as targets for drug development.
