| Mgi Type | lncRNA gene |
| description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Involved in several processes, including determination of adult lifespan; hair follicle development; and skeletal muscle fiber development. Is active in cytoplasm. Is expressed in embryo. Orthologous to human NORAD (non-coding RNA activated by DNA damage). PHENOTYPE: Mice with a null allele exhibit a degenerative phenotype resembling premature aging, with kyphosis and intervertebral disk degeneration, and decreased cellularity of the nucleus pulposus.
