Long intergenic non-protein coding RNA 1115 (LINC01115)

Long intergenic non-protein coding RNA 1115 (LINC01115) is a human long non-coding RNA classified as a lincRNA, meaning its transcript does not overlap protein-coding genes and does not code for protein itself[1][3][4]. LINC01115 is typically over 200 nucleotides in length. Like other lincRNAs, LINC01115 regulates gene expression, often by modulating the activity of microRNAs, RNA-binding proteins, or chromatin structure[4][5]. Aberrant expression of LINC01115 has been associated with several cancers, including retinoblastoma and others, where it may promote tumor cell proliferation and migration by acting as a molecular sponge for specific microRNAs[2]. However, it is not specifically classified as a therapeutic receptor, enzyme, channel, transporter, or traditional drug target, and there are no known direct pharmacological agents that interact with LINC01115 currently in clinical use[1][2].
