Family with sequence similarity 88 member E (FAM88E)

Family with sequence similarity 88 member E (FAM88E) appears to be a gene affiliated with the lncRNA (long non-coding RNA) class, and not a protein-coding gene or a well-established therapeutic target[5][7]. There is something wrong with this target: FAM88E is classified as an RNA gene, specifically a long non-coding RNA, not as an established therapeutic target such as a receptor, enzyme, transporter, or similar protein[5]. Family with sequence similarity 88 member E (FAM88E) is a gene located on chromosome 9 (9q13.42)[7]. It is classified as a lncRNA (long non-coding RNA) gene with no reported protein-coding function, and its biological role, molecular mechanisms, or relevance as a drug target have not been characterized in available scientific literature[5][7]. There is currently no evidence to suggest that FAM88E encodes a protein, nor is it associated with known disease mechanisms, biomarker roles, or therapeutic drugs. This entry is potentially the result of confusion with members of the FAM83 family, which includes "family with sequence similarity 83 member E (FAM83E)," a protein-coding gene involved in cell signaling and cancer[1][3][9][11]. If the intended target is the protein-coding member of the FAM83 family (FAM83E), clarification will be required.
