摘要:
An object of the present invention is to provide a novel double-stranded RNA that has high resistance to nuclease and cellular uptake efficiency and that can produce an excellent RNA interference effect. The present invention provides a double-stranded lipid-modified RNA comprising a sense strand having a nucleotide sequence complementary to a target sequence in a target gene, and an antisense strand having a nucleotide sequence complementary to the sense strand, the double-stranded RNA being capable of suppressing the expression of the target gene, and the sense strand having a double-stranded lipid bound directly or via a linker to at least one of the first to sixth nucleotides from the 5' end.

The present invention provides a lipid-modified double-stranded RNA comprising a sense strand having a nucleotide sequence complementary to a target sequence, and an antisense strand having a nucleotide sequence complementary to the sense strand, the double-stranded RNA being capable of inhibiting the expression of the target gene, the sense strand having a lipid linked to at least one of the first to sixth nucleotides from the 5′ end side directly or via a linker.
