EAF1 antisense RNA 1 (EAF1-AS1)

EAF1 antisense RNA 1 (EAF1-AS1) is a long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) transcribed from the antisense strand of the EAF1 gene locus. Like other antisense lncRNAs, EAF1-AS1 is presumed to regulate the expression or processing of its sense gene, EAF1, through transcriptional, post-transcriptional, or epigenetic mechanisms. While many antisense lncRNAs have demonstrated roles in the regulation of proliferation, differentiation, and disease, specific functional or mechanistic details for EAF1-AS1 are not available in the current literature from the search results. Diseases associated include retinitis pigmentosa, though no direct mechanistic linkage or therapeutic targeting data is reported. EAF1-AS1 is not presently considered a therapeutic target, receptor, or enzyme.
