LOC103908605
Loc103908605 is a long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) that was first identified in humans in 2014. LncRNAs are transcripts that are greater than 200 nucleotides in length but do not encode proteins. They have been implicated in various biological processes, including gene regulation, chromosome organization, and cell differentiation.
Loc103908605 is located on chromosome 11q13.1 and is expressed in a variety of tissues, including the brain, heart, liver, and skeletal muscle. The function of loc103908605 is not yet fully understood, but it has been shown to play a role in the regulation of gene expression.
Loc103908605 has been associated with several diseases, including:
- Cancer: Loc103908605 has been found to be upregulated in a variety of cancers, including breast cancer, lung cancer, and colorectal cancer. It is thought to play a role in cancer development and progression by regulating the expression of genes involved in cell proliferation, apoptosis, and metastasis.
- Neurological disorders: Loc103908605 has been linked to several neurological disorders, including Alzheimer's disease and Parkinson's disease. It is thought to contribute to these disorders by disrupting the function of genes involved in neuronal survival and synaptic plasticity.
- Cardiovascular diseases: Loc103908605 has been implicated in the development of cardiovascular diseases, such as atherosclerosis and heart failure. It is thought to play a role in these diseases by regulating the expression of genes involved in vascular inflammation and fibrosis.
