CFAP100 divergent transcript (CFAP100-DT)

CFAP100 divergent transcript (CFAP100-DT) is a long non-coding RNA gene, categorized as a *divergent transcript* due to its orientation and proximity relative to neighboring coding genes such as CCDC37[3][5]. Divergent lncRNAs are typically transcribed from promoters shared with an adjacent protein-coding gene but in the opposite (head-to-head) direction. These lncRNAs contribute to local chromatin remodeling and transcriptional regulation of themselves and neighboring genes, though the precise function of CFAP100-DT remains undetermined[3][5]. Currently, CFAP100-DT is not considered a therapeutic target nor is it associated with drug interactions, disease roles, or biomarkers for therapy selection.
