TUG1

TUG1 (taurine upregulated gene 1) is a is_associated_with::long non-coding RNA expressed in the is_associated_with::retina and in the is_associated_with::brain. It was first identified in a screen for genes upregulated by in developing retinal cells in response to is_associated_with::taurine. It is required for the normal development of photoreceptors in the retina.
