Descriptor English: RNA, Antisense
Descriptor Spanish: ARN sin Sentido
Descriptor ARN antiparalelo
Entry term(s) ARN antisentido
Scope note: Moléculas de ARN que se hibridan con secuencias complementarias tanto en el ARN como en el ADN y alteran la función de estas últimas. Los ARNs antisentido endógenos actúan como reguladores de la expresión génica mediante diversos mecanismos. Los ARNs antisentido sintéticos se utilizan para afectar el funcionamiento de genes específicos en la investigación o con fines terapéuticos.
