MIR22HG (MIR22 host gene), also known as C17orf91,[3]MGC14376,[4]MIRN22, hsa-mir-22, and miR-22[5] is a human gene that encodes a noncoding RNA (ncRNA).This RNA molecule is not translated into a protein but nonetheless may have important functions.
MIR22HG ncRNA is greater than 200 nucleotides in length and therefore informally classified as a long non-coding RNA, i.e. lncRNA. The MIR22HG gene is located at band 13.3 on the short (or "p") arm of chromosome 17. It is expressed in each of the 27 human tissues tested.[3]
