This text is a summary paragraph taken from the Wikipedia
entry entitled miR-144. miRBase and Rfam
are facilitating community annotation of microRNA families and entries in Wikipedia. Read more ...
The text in this section is taken from the free, online
encyclopedia, Wikipedia. Anyone can edit a Wikipedia page. We hope
that experts on particular microRNA sequences will use the links to
Wikipedia below to edit the annotation of individual microRNAs, to add
information about function, evolution, discovery, and literature
references, for example. Any changes that you make will be visible in
Wikipedia immediately, and in miRBase within 24 hours.
Editing Wikipedia entries is straightforward. If you haven't
edited a page before, you might like to take a look at the following
Wikipedia help pages:
You can also create new pages at Wikipedia about microRNA families
that do not currently have specific entries there. Please let us know
if you do, so we can incorporate your annotation into miRBase, and
create the appropriate links from miRBase entries to the relevant
Wikipedia pages.
Please note, we're not responsible for the content of Wikipedia pages.
You can read more about miRBase, Wikipedia and community annotation on this blog post.

miR-144 is a family of microRNA precursors found in mammals, including humans. The ~22 nucleotide mature miRNA sequence is excised from the precursor hairpin by the enzyme Dicer. In humans, miR-144 has been characterised as a "common miRNA signature" of a number of different tumours.
GATA4 is thought to activate transcription of the miR-144 microRNA precursor.

miR-144 is a family of microRNA precursors found in mammals, including humans. The ~22 nucleotide mature miRNA sequence is excised from the precursor hairpin by the enzyme Dicer.[1] In humans, miR-144 has been characterised as a "common miRNA signature"[2] of a number of different tumours.
GATA4 is thought to activate transcription of the miR-144 microRNA precursor.[3]
[edit] Function
miR-144 functions in a cluster with miR-451. This locus regulates the expression of a number of genes whose products are involved in erythropoiesis.[4] One of the identified targets of miR-144 is insulin receptor substrate 1.[5]
[edit] Applications
miR-144 has been identified as one of a number of potential miRNA targets which could be used to treat schizophrenia and bipolar affective disorder.[6] It has also been suggested as a potential therapeutic tool to treat ischemic heart disease.[3]
