The functionally conserved human lncRNA motif GULF lowers glucose and lipid levels in obese mice.

Abstract excerpt

Growing evidence links human long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) to metabolic disease pathogenesis, yet no FDA-approved drugs target human lncRNAs. Most human lncRNAs lack conservation in other mammals, complicating efforts to define their roles and identify therapeutic targets. Here, we leveraged the concept of functionally conserved lncRNAs (FCLs) - lncRNAs that share function despite no sequence similarity - to...
