ZEB2-AS1

ZEB2-AS1 (ZEB2 antisense RNA 1) is a is_associated_with::long non-coding RNA, which is overlapping and is_associated_with::antisense to the is_associated_with::ZEB2 gene. It overlaps the 5' is_associated_with::splice site of an is_associated_with::intron within the is_associated_with::5'UTR of the ZEB2 gene. This intron contains an is_associated_with::internal ribosome entry site (IRES), which is necessary for ZEB2 expression. ZEB2-AS1 prevents the splicing of this intron, and therefore activates ZEB2 expression.
