MicroRNA miR-378 regulates nephronectin expression modulating osteoblast differentiation by targeting GalNT-7.

MicroRNA miR-378 regulates nephronectin expression modulating osteoblast differentiation by targeting GalNT-7.

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small fragments of single-stranded RNA containing 18-24 nucleotides, and are generated from endogenous transcripts. MicroRNAs function in post-transcriptional gene silencing by targeting the 3'-untranslated region (UTR) of mRNAs, resulting in translational repression. We...
