MiR-33
miR-33
Non-coding RNA in the species Homo sapiens
miR-33 is a family of microRNA precursors, which are processed by the Dicer enzyme to give mature microRNAs.[1] miR-33 is found in several animal species, including humans. In some species there is a single member of this family which gives the mature product mir-33. In humans there are two members of this family called mir-33a and mir-33b, which are located in intronic regions within two protein-coding genes for Sterol regulatory element-binding proteins (SREBP-2 and SREBP-1) respectively.[2]
