Mir-148/mir-152 microRNA precursor family

In molecular biology, mir-148 is a microRNA whose expression has been demonstrated in human (MI0000253), mouse (MI0000550), rat (MI0000616) and zebrafish (MI0002015). miR-148 has also been predicted in chicken (MI0001189).

These predicted hairpin precursor sequence are related to those of mir-152, which has been expressed in mouse (MI0000174) and is predicted in human (MI0000462).

The hairpin precursors (represented here) are predicted based on base pairing and cross-species conservation; their extents are not known. In this case, the mature sequence is excised from the 3' arm of the hairpin.
