EPCAM divergent transcript (EPCAM-DT)

EPCAM divergent transcript (EPCAM-DT) is a long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) gene located on chromosome 2 (chr2:47192405–47345112, hg38)[1][5]. It is classified as a non-protein coding RNA gene and is not known to encode a functional protein or receptor[5]. The gene is listed with the identifier LOC107985882 in NCBI gene databases, and its main known feature is its classification as a divergent transcript relative to EPCAM, meaning it is transcribed in the direction opposite to the protein-coding EPCAM gene[1][5]. There is no current evidence to suggest EPCAM-DT is a therapeutic target, nor are there details on its biological function, disease involvement, or interactions with drugs. Further research may be necessary to clarify any functional roles, but as of now, it is primarily considered a lncRNA with unknown function in human biology[5].
