TY - JOUR A1 - Brandes, Ralf A1 - Leisegang, Matthias T1 - Lange nicht-codierende RNAs in der Angiogenese T2 - Biospektrum N2 - More than 97 percent of the transcribed RNA in mammalian cells is not coding for proteins. Among these are micro RNAs (miRs), transfer RNAs (tRNA) as well as ribosomal RNAs (rRNA) but also long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs). This RNA class is only defined by its sequence length of more than 200 nucleotides and its lack of protein coding potential. The human genome encodes for more than 18.000 lncRNAs which contribute to gene expression control. Here, we discuss the function of these lncRNAs and how they modulate the angiogenic process of vessel growth.
