Metastasis associated lung adenocarcinoma transcript 1, (MALAT-1, 22 ORESTES) is a conserved long non-protein-coding RNA (>8,000 nucleotides (nt)) of unknown function that is highly expressed in numerous healthy organs and overexpressed in metastatic non-small cell lung carcinomas [27]. This evidence concerns the gene MALAT1 and non-small cell lung carcinoma.
