Summary
This gene produces a long non-coding RNA that is overexpressed in cancer cells and promotes cell proliferation and epithelial-mesenchymal transition. This RNA may bind enhancer of zeste homolog 2 and participate in the transcriptional silencing of tumor suppressor genes. It may act as a sponge for microRNAs. Alternatively spliced variants have been observed. [provided by RefSeq, Dec 2017]
