Fig. 3From: Roles of circRNAs in hematological malignanciesFunctions of circRNAs. CircRNAs can maintain R-loop structure to facilitate mRNA transcription and indirectly regulate mRNA transcription by recruiting proteins or acting as ceRNA to compete with mRNA. Besides, circRNAs act as a protein scaffold to mediate protein-protein interactions, protein localization, and protein transport. Moreover, circRNAs code proteins and regulate nearby cells by exosome transportBack to article page
