PRANCR is a novel lncRNA regulating epidermal homeostasis and identify other lncRNA candidates that may have roles in this process as well.[1]

Annotated Information

Name

Approved symbol:PRANCR

Approved name:progenitor renewal associated non-coding RNA

HGNC ID:51126

Previous name:long intergenic non-protein coding RNA 1481|CNOT2 divergent transcript

RefSeq ID:NR_120460

Prev_symbol:LINC01481|CNOT2-DT

Characteristics

PRANCR regions reside in non-protein-coding regions of the genome.[1]

Function

PRANCR is a novel epidermal lncRNA and is essential for keratinocyte proliferation and cell cycle progression.[1]

PRANCR regulates keratinocyte proliferation, cell cycle progression, and clonogenicity.[1]

Regulation

PRANCR controls the expression of 1136 genes, with strong enrichment for late cell cycle genes containing a CHR promoter element.PRANCR depletion led to increased levels of both total and nuclear CDKN1A (also known as p21).[1]

Expression

PRANCR-deficient epidermis displayed impaired stratification with reduced expression of differentiation genes that are altered in human skin diseases, including keratins 1 and 10, filaggrin, and loricrin.[1]

Diseases

Human skin diseases[1]
