KIAA1671 antisense RNA 1 (KIAA1671-AS1)

KIAA1671 antisense RNA 1 (KIAA1671-AS1) is a long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) gene located on chromosome 22 (chr22:25102417-25112716, hg38)[1][3]. It is classified as an antisense RNA—RNA molecules transcribed from the DNA strand opposite to the coding (sense) gene and is not translated into protein[7]. Like other naturally occurring antisense RNAs, KIAA1671-AS1 is implicated in the regulation of gene expression through various molecular mechanisms, which may include interaction with complementary messenger RNAs, modulation of chromatin structure, or influence on transcriptional processes[2][5]. The specific functional roles of KIAA1671-AS1 remain incompletely characterized, but diseases associated with dysregulation of this RNA include retinitis pigmentosa[3]. There are no known direct drug interactions, established uses as a biomarker, or documented safety concerns linked to targeting this RNA. Its principal molecular classification is as a long non-coding antisense RNA rather than as a protein-coding target such as a receptor, enzyme, or transporter[3][7].
