In molecular biology mir-672 microRNA is a short RNA molecule. MicroRNAs function to regulate the expression levels of other genes by several mechanisms.

miR-672 is underexpressed in neuroblastoma cells and has been associated with cancer pathways.[1] It has further been identified as one of six miRNAs significantly downregulated in dorsal root ganglia following sciatic nerve entrapment.[2] Additionally, miR-672 has been found to be X-linked and to show preferential expression in testes and ovaries.[3]
