The miR-24 microRNA precursor is a small non-coding RNA molecule that regulates gene expression.

In this case the mature sequence comes from the 3' arm of the precursor.

The mature products are thought to have regulatory roles through complementarity to mRNA.

[1] Recently, miR-24 has been shown to suppress expression of two crucial cell cycle control genes, E2F2 and Myc in hematopoietic differentiation[2] and also to promote keratinocyte differentiation by repressing actin-cytoskeleton regulators PAK4, Tsk5 and ArhGAP19.
