LINC00488
Description
The LINC00488 (long intergenic non-protein coding RNA 488) is a ncRNA gene located on chromosome 3.
LINC00488 is a long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) located on chromosome 19. It is a transcribed RNA molecule that does not translate into a protein. LINC00488 is thought to play a role in regulating gene expression, but its specific function is still under investigation. Studies have shown that LINC00488 is differentially expressed in various cancers, suggesting its potential involvement in tumorigenesis.
LINC00488, also known as long intergenic non-protein coding RNA 488, has been implicated in various cellular processes, including cell proliferation and differentiation. Its regulatory function in these processes, however, remains largely unclear. Some studies suggest that LINC00488 might act as a competing endogenous RNA (ceRNA), sponging microRNAs (miRNAs) to regulate the expression of target genes. However, further investigation is needed to validate these findings and unravel the exact mechanisms by which LINC00488 exerts its cellular functions.
LINC00488 is also known as C3orf66.
