LINC01296
linc01296: An Emerging Long Non-Coding RNA with Diverse Roles
Description
linc01296 is a long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) that plays crucial roles in various biological processes. LncRNAs are non-protein-coding transcripts that are involved in regulating gene expression, cellular differentiation, and disease development. linc01296 is located on chromosome 19q13.41 and is expressed in a wide range of tissues, particularly in the brain, heart, and liver.
Associated Diseases
linc01296 has been implicated in the development and progression of several diseases. Here are some of the associated diseases:
- Glioma: linc01296 is highly expressed in glioma cells and its expression levels correlate with tumor grade and poor prognosis.
- Gastric cancer: Overexpression of linc01296 has been found in gastric cancer tissues and promotes tumor growth and metastasis.
- Breast cancer: linc01296 is upregulated in breast cancer and contributes to the development of estrogen receptor-positive breast cancer.
- Cardiovascular diseases: linc01296 has been linked to the development of cardiovascular diseases, such as coronary artery disease and heart failure.
Did you Know ?
Over 50% of human genes are thought to produce lncRNAs, including linc01296. However, the majority of these lncRNAs remain poorly understood, providing a significant opportunity for research and discovery.
