title: LncRNA-encoded peptides: More than translational noise?
abstract: Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) belong to the ever-increasing number of transcripts that are thought not to encode proteins. A recent study has now identified a small polypeptide encoded by the lncRNA LINC00961 that inhibits amino acid-induced mTORC1 activation in skeletal muscle.
