Accession

MI0001496

Description

Zea mays miR172c stem-loop

Gene family

MIPF0000035; MIR172

Community annotation

This text is a summary paragraph taken from the Wikipedia entry entitled mir-172_microRNA_precursor_family. miRBase and Rfam are facilitating community annotation of microRNA families and entries in Wikipedia.

The mir-172 microRNA is thought to target mRNAs coding for APETALA2-like transcription factors. It has been verified experimentally in the model plant, Arabidopsis thaliana (mouse-ear cress). The mature sequence is excised from the 3' arm of the hairpin.
