MIRLET7A2 is represented in RefSeq as a predicted microRNA stem-loop. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are short (20–24 nt) noncoding RNAs that post-transcriptionally regulate gene expression in multicellular organisms by influencing mRNA stability and translation. They are transcribed by RNA polymerase II as capped, polyadenylated primary transcripts (pri-miRNAs), which can be protein-coding or noncoding. The primary transcript is cleaved by the RNase III enzyme Drosha to generate an approximately 70-nt stem-loop precursor miRNA (pre-miRNA), which is further cut by cytoplasmic Dicer to produce mature miRNA and antisense miRNA star (miRNA*) products. Mature miRNA is incorporated into the RNA-induced silencing complex (RISC), which recognizes target mRNAs through imperfect base pairing with the miRNA and most often causes translational inhibition or destabilization of the target mRNA.
