LOC648987
Loc648987: A Comprehensive Overview
Description
Loc648987 is a human gene located on chromosome 17q21.31. It encodes a protein called long intergenic non-protein coding RNA 648987 (LINC00648987). LINC00648987 is a member of the long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) family, which are RNA molecules that are not translated into proteins but play important regulatory roles in gene expression.
Associated Diseases
LINC00648987 has been implicated in the development of several diseases, including:
- Lung cancer: Overexpression of LINC00648987 has been linked to increased cell proliferation, migration, and invasion in lung cancer cells.
- Gastric cancer: LINC00648987 expression is associated with poor prognosis in gastric cancer patients.
- Colorectal cancer: LINC00648987 may promote colorectal cancer cell growth and metastasis.
- Pancreatic cancer: High levels of LINC00648987 are associated with increased tumor size and poor survival in pancreatic cancer patients.
Did you Know ?
Studies have shown that LINC00648987 is overexpressed in approximately 30-50% of patients with lung cancer, indicating its potential as a diagnostic and prognostic biomarker.
