LINC00242
Description
The LINC00242 (long intergenic non-protein coding RNA 242) is a ncRNA gene located on chromosome 6.
LINC00242 is a long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) located on chromosome 12. Its expression has been observed to vary in different tissues and cell types. Studies have suggested a potential involvement of LINC00242 in various cellular processes, including gene regulation, cell proliferation, and cancer development. However, its exact mechanisms of action and biological functions are still under investigation.
The precise function of LINC00242 remains elusive, but research suggests a potential role in regulating gene expression, possibly through interactions with specific proteins or microRNAs. Its upregulation in certain cancer types has raised interest in its potential as a diagnostic or therapeutic target. Further investigation is needed to fully elucidate its functional significance.
LINC00242 is also known as C6orf122, NCRNA00242, dJ266L20.5.
