About DLEU2

This locus represents a microRNA host gene and also produces long alternatively spliced non-coding RNAs. This genome region was observed to be deleted or epigenetically suppressed in leukemia, and was implicated as a negative regulator of cell proliferation. However, an alternative transcript produced at this locus was also found to promote progression through the cell cycle via angiotensin I converting enzyme 2 and cyclin D1.
