ITCH intronic transcript 1 (ITCH-IT1)

ITCH intronic transcript 1 (ITCH-IT1) is a non-coding RNA transcript derived from the intronic regions of the ITCH gene, likely classified as a long non-coding RNA (lncRNA)[1][2]. Non-coding transcripts from the ITCH locus may regulate expression of the ITCH gene itself or act through competing endogenous RNA mechanisms (e.g., miRNA sponging), especially in the context of related circRNAs (e.g., circ-ITCH)[2][6]. Although non-coding RNAs from the ITCH locus (notably circ-ITCH) have documented relevance in cancer and immune signaling, ITCH-IT1 itself is not presently recognized as a therapeutic target, druggable protein, or validated biomarker[1][2][3][6]. Its biological functions remain largely uncharacterized, though, by analogy to other intronic non-coding RNAs, it may have regulatory or epigenetic effects[3][6].
