CD44-AS1

Summary

CD44-AS1 (CD44 antisense RNA 1, HGNC:40133) is a long non-coding RNA gene on chromosome 11p13.

At a glance

• Gene type: non-coding (lncRNA) — no protein product; not a drug target. Variant/disease associations are omitted (they would be positional, from an overlapping protein-coding gene).
