MIR6890 is a microRNA (miRNA), a short 20–24 nucleotide noncoding RNA that helps regulate gene expression post-transcriptionally in multicellular organisms by affecting mRNA stability and translation. miRNAs are transcribed by RNA polymerase II as parts of capped and polyadenylated primary transcripts (pri-miRNAs), which can be protein-coding or noncoding. The primary transcript is cleaved by the nuclear RNase III enzyme Drosha to produce an approximately 70-nucleotide stem-loop pre-miRNA, which cytoplasmic Dicer further cleaves to yield the mature miRNA and antisense miRNA star (miRNA*) products. The mature miRNA is incorporated into the RNA-induced silencing complex (RISC), which recognizes target mRNAs through imperfect base pairing and most commonly causes translational inhibition or destabilization of the target mRNA. RefSeq represents this predicted microRNA stem-loop. [Provided by RefSeq, Sep 2009]
