Abstract:
Non-coding RNAs have a role in gene regulation and cellular metabolism control. Metabolism produces metabolites which are small molecules formed during the metabolic process. So far, a direct relationship between metabolites and genes is not fully established; however, pseudogenes and their progenitor genes regulate health and disease states. Other non-coding RNAs also contribute to this regulation at different cellular processes. Accumulation and depletion of metabolites accompany the dynamic equilibrium of health and disease state. In this study, metabolites, their roles in the cell, and the link between metabolites and non-coding RNAs are discussed.

Types of RNA
Three main types of RNA are involved in protein synthesis: messenger RNA (mRNA), transfer RNA (tRNA), and ribosomal RNA (rRNA). These RNAs perform diverse functions and can be broadly classified as protein-coding or non-coding RNA. Non-coding RNAs play important roles in the regulation of gene expression in response to developmental and environmental changes. Non-coding RNAs in prokaryotes can be manipulated to develop more effective antibacterial drugs for human or animal use.
