In molecular biology mir-589 microRNA is a short RNA molecule. MicroRNAs function to regulate the expression levels of other genes by several mechanisms.

Molecular targets

miR-589 has been implicated in the regulation of antimicrobial targets in bovine lung alveolar macrophages, and alongside other miRNAs has been suggested to play a part in the immune response against Mycobacterium tuberculosis.[1] It has additionally been linked to HLA-G expression, having been found to target the 3'UTR 14-base pair sequence region of the HLA-G gene.[2]
