BEAN1 antisense RNA 1 (BEAN1-AS1)

BEAN1 antisense RNA 1 (BEAN1-AS1) is a long non-coding RNA gene found in the human genome, transcribed in an antisense orientation relative to the BEAN1 protein-coding gene[1][3][4]. It is classified as a non-coding RNA, meaning its transcript is not translated into a protein, but may play a role in regulating the expression of its sense gene (BEAN1), for example by modulating transcription or RNA stability in a *cis*-acting manner as is typical for many antisense lncRNAs[4][7][9]. It is annotated in databases such as GeneCards and Ensembl under the accession numbers ENSG00000261656 (Ensembl) and 101927726 (NCBI Gene)[1][3][4][6]. There are currently no known drugs, direct disease links, or validated biomarker or safety data for BEAN1-AS1. Its aliases include "CTD-2258A20.5"[1][3]. Notes: - This is an *RNA gene* and *not* a classical therapeutic target such as a receptor, enzyme, or transporter. - Function and disease associations may become clearer in the future as more functional studies are published, but there is currently no direct experimental evidence for specific biological functions or disease roles of BEAN1-AS1[3][4][6]. - General properties are inferred from the class of long non-coding antisense RNAs, which often function in gene expression regulation and epigenetic modification[7][9].
