miR34d

miR34d is a microRNA that plays a role in cellular processes. MicroRNAs are small non-coding RNA molecules that regulate gene expression. They typically bind to messenger RNA (mRNA) molecules, leading to either the degradation of the mRNA or the inhibition of its translation into protein. The miR-34 family, including miR-34d, is known for its involvement in a variety of biological functions.

Research on miR-34d has indicated its potential involvement in developmental processes. Studies have explored its expression patterns in different tissues and at various stages of development, suggesting a role in cellular differentiation and maturation. Furthermore, miR-34d has been investigated for its association with disease. Dysregulation of microRNA expression is a common feature in many pathological conditions, including cancer. Some studies have begun to explore the specific targets of miR-34d and how its altered levels might contribute to disease progression. The precise mechanisms and the full spectrum of miR-34d's functions are still areas of active research.
