A putative role of micro RNA in regulation of cholesterol 7α-hydroxylase expression in human hepatocytes[S]

Cholesterol 7α-hydroxylase (CYP7A1) plays a critical role in regulation of bile acid synthesis in the liver. CYP7A1 mRNAs have very short half-lives, and bile acids destabilize CYP7A1 mRNA via the 3′-untranslated region (3′-UTR). However, the underlying mechanism of translational regulation of CYP7A...
