Provided is a novel nucleic acid molecule that can inhibit the expression of a gene and can be produces easily and efficiently. The nucleic acid molecule is a single-stranded nucleic acid molecule including an expression inhibitory sequence that inhibits expression of a target gene. The single-stranded nucleic acid molecule includes, in sequence from the 5' side to the 3' side: a 5' side region (Xc); an inner region (Z); and a 3' side region (Yc). The inner region (Z) is composed of an inner 5' side region (X) and an inner 3' side region (Y) that are linked to each other. The 5' side region (Xc) is complementary to the inner 5' side region (X). The 3' side region (Yc) is complementary to the inner 3' side region (Y). At least one of the inner region (Z), the 5' side region (Xc), and the 3' side region (Yc) includes the expression inhibitory sequence. According to this single-stranded nucleic acid molecule, it is possible to inhibit the expression of the target gene.
本发明提供了一种新型核酸分子,它可以抑制基因的表达,并能方便、高效地生产。该核酸分子是一种单链核酸分子,包括抑制靶基因表达的表达抑制序列。单链核酸分子从 5'侧到 3'侧依次包括:5'侧区域(Xc)、内部区域(Z)和 3'侧区域(Yc)。内部区域(Z)由相互连接的内部 5'边区域(X)和内部 3'边区域(Y)组成。5' 边区(Xc)与内部 5' 边区(X)互补。3'侧区域(Yc)与内部 3'侧区域(Y)互补。内部区域(Z)、5'侧区域(Xc)和 3'侧区域(Yc)中至少有一个包含表达抑制序列。根据这种单链核酸分子,可以抑制目的基因的表达。
