Non-coding RNA in the species Homo sapiens
 
Firre (functional intergenic repeating RNA element) is a long non-coding RNA located on chromosome X. It is retained in the nucleus via interaction with the nuclear matrix factor hnRNPU. It mediates trans-chromosomal interactions and anchors the inactive X chromosome to the nucleolus. It plays a role in pluripotency and adipogenesis.
