GNAS-AS1
Introduction
In molecular biology, GNAS antisense RNA (non-protein coding), also known as GNAS-AS1, is a long non-coding RNA.It is antisense to the GNAS gene. It is an imprinted gene, expressed only from the paternal allele, suggesting that it may have a role in suppression of the paternal NESP55 allele encoded by GNAS.[1]
