SB2C1

SB2C1 is a small, circular RNA (circRNA) that has been identified in various human tissues and cell lines. CircRNAs are a class of non-coding RNAs that are characterized by their closed-loop structure, formed by the back-splicing of pre-mRNA. SB2C1 is derived from the back-splicing of the SSB2 gene, which is involved in DNA repair and recombination. The exact function of SB2C1 is not yet fully understood, but it has been suggested to play a role in cell proliferation, differentiation, and apoptosis. Studies have shown that SB2C1 levels are upregulated in several types of cancer, including breast, lung, and liver cancer, and are associated with poor prognosis. However, the role of SB2C1 in cancer is complex and may vary depending on the cancer type and stage. Further research is needed to elucidate the precise mechanisms by which SB2C1 regulates cellular processes and its potential as a therapeutic target.
