In molecular biology mir-633 microRNA is a short RNA molecule. MicroRNAs function to regulate the expression levels of other genes by several mechanisms.

miR-633 in Leukaemia

miR-633 has been linked to acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (ALL) and as having a potential role in the development of leukaemia, due to abnormal expression in ALL subjects.[1] It may be of use for prediction of relapse potential and in development of personalised leukaemia treatments.

Progesterone regulation

miR-633 expression in endometrial carcinoma cells upon treatment with progesterone saw a 50% decrease in expression levels. These point towards a possible critical role of miR-633, alongside other miRNAs, in the regulation of posttranscriptional gene expression on progesterone treatment.[2]
