miR-144 is a family of microRNA precursors found in mammals, including humans. The ~22 nucleotide mature miRNA sequence is excised from the precusor hairpin by the enzyme Dicer.[1]

GATA4 is thought to activate transcription of the miR-144 microRNA precursor.[2]

Function

miR-144 functions in a cluster with miR-451. This locus regulates the expression of a number of genes whose products are involved in erythropoiesis.[3] One of the identified targets of miR-144 is insulin receptor substrate 1.[4]

Applications

miR-144 has been identified as one of a number of potential miRNA targets which could be used to treat schizophrenia and bipolar affective disorder.[5] It has also been suggested as a potential therapeutic tool to treat ischemic heart disease.[2]
