MicroRNA 548f-4 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the MIR548F4 gene.

Function
microRNAs (miRNAs) are short (20-24 nt) non-coding RNAs that are involved in post-transcriptional regulation of gene expression in multicellular organisms by affecting both the stability and translation of mRNAs.
miRNAs are transcribed by
Dicer ribonuclease
to generate the mature miRNA and antisense miRNA star (miRNA*) products.
The mature miRNA is incorporated into a RNA-induced silencing complex (RISC), which recognizes target mRNAs through imperfect base pairing with the miRNA and most commonly results in translational inhibition or destabilization of the target mRNA. The RefSeq represents the predicted microRNA stem-loop. [provided by RefSeq, Sep 2009].
