GPR158 antisense RNA 1 (GPR158-AS1)

GPR158 antisense RNA 1 (GPR158-AS1) is a long non-coding RNA gene transcribed from the region antisense to the GPR158 gene. It does not encode a protein and is classified within the lncRNA family. Current literature links GPR158-AS1 mainly to gene regulation at the RNA level, but its explicit functions and mechanisms have not been well characterized. It has been noted in gene-disease association studies, primarily with retinitis pigmentosa, but its involvement in pathology is unclear. No drugs or therapeutic interventions targeting GPR158-AS1 are described in available sources, and it is not recognized as a conventional therapeutic target such as a receptor, enzyme, or transporter[3][6]. If you intended information on the related protein-coding gene (GPR158, a "G protein-coupled receptor"), please clarify, as this would refer to an entirely different type of target with substantial pharmacological research and distinct biological roles[1][2][5].
