From: Long noncoding RNAs in lipid metabolism: literature review and conservation analysis across species
The different mechanisms of action of lncRNAs. a Mechanisms with effect at transcriptional level, b at post-transcriptional level and (c) on proteins. d LncRNAs with a role as small noncoding RNA host. e LncRNAs with translational activity through a small ORF. In red, lncRNA; in green, mRNA; in blue, miRNA; the green, yellow and blue oval spheres are proteins. The genes in bold are those mentioned in this review, the others are examples from research fields other than lipid metabolism: SAF66 and NRON [97]
