General Description
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.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.

Function of the protein in oral and tooth development
The miRNA pathway is evident to have significant importance in embryogenesis including tooth development. miRNAs are found to regulate morphogenesis of tooth by fine-tuning the signalling networks. However, their precise role in tooth differentiation and morphogenesis is unclear (Khuu et al., 2016)
