ACTR3 antisense RNA 1 (ACTR3-AS1)

ACTR3 antisense RNA 1 (ACTR3-AS1), also known as AC104653.1, is a long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) gene classified as an antisense RNA transcript[3]. Antisense lncRNAs like ACTR3-AS1 are transcribed from the DNA strand opposite a protein-coding gene—in this case, ACTR3—and often regulate the expression of their sense partner gene through various mechanisms such as recruiting chromatin modifiers, modulating transcript stability, or influencing methylation patterns[1][2]. These molecules can impact gene expression post-transcriptionally in the cytoplasm or influence epigenetic states within the nucleus[1][2]. While the general class of antisense lncRNAs is recognized for diverse roles in cancer progression and gene regulation, there is limited direct evidence specifically linking ACTR3-AS1 to a well-defined therapeutic mechanism, disease biomarker status, or drug interactions[1][3].
