MicroRNA-7 is a highly conserved, non-coding RNA molecule approximately 22 nucleotides long. In humans, the mature miR-7 sequence is generated from three distinct genomic loci: (Chromosome 9), MIR7-2 (Chromosome 15), and MIR7-3 (Chromosome 19). It is primarily recognized as a "network stabilizer" that maintains cellular homeostasis under environmental stress. Biological Functions and Regulation
miR-7 is preferentially expressed in neuroendocrine tissues, specifically the and pancreas . Mirna.7z
The dysregulation of miR-7 is a hallmark of several major pathologies: MicroRNA-7 is a highly conserved, non-coding RNA molecule
