linc00266-3: A Little-Known Long Non-Coding RNA with a Big Impact
Description
linc00266-3 is a long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) that is involved in various biological processes, including cell growth, differentiation, and apoptosis. It is located on chromosome 17q23.2 and is highly conserved across species.
Associated Diseases
Alterations in linc00266-3 expression have been linked to several diseases, including:
- Cancer: Its overexpression has been observed in gastric, breast, and lung cancers, where it promotes cell proliferation and inhibits apoptosis.
- Cardiovascular disease: Linc00266-3 is involved in the development of atherosclerosis, a major cause of heart attack and stroke.
- Neurological disorders: Dysregulation of linc00266-3 has been implicated in Alzheimer's disease and Parkinson's disease.
Did you Know ?
A study involving over 500 cancer patients found that patients with high linc00266-3 expression had a significantly shorter survival time compared to those with low expression.
