Means for increasing intracellular levels of protoporphyrin IX and use thereof

摘要

The present invention is related to a nucleic acid molecule comprising a double-stranded structure, whereby the double-stranded structure comprises a first strand and a second strand, whereby the first strand comprises a first stretch of contiguous nucleotides and the first stretch is at least partially complementary to a target nucleic acid, and whereby the second strand comprises a second stretch of contiguous nucleotides and whereby said second stretch is at least partially complementary to the first stretch, whereby the first stretch comprises a nucleic acid sequence which is complementary to a nucleotide sequence starting from position 383, 1013 or 1982 of the nucleic acid according to SEQ.ID.No. 1.
