Long intergenic non-protein coding RNA 1163 (LINC01163)

LINC01163 encodes a long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) located on chromosome 10q26.2 (genomic coordinates: 10:128181032-128317726, GRCh38 assembly)[1][3][5][8]. It is characterized as a non-protein coding transcript, sharing structural features typical of lncRNAs. Its alternative names include TCONS_00017722. The biological roles, clinical relevance, and specific molecular interactions of LINC01163 remain largely uncharacterized; it has not been classified as a conventional therapeutic target such as a receptor, enzyme, or transporter. As a lncRNA, it may be involved in the regulation of gene expression and chromatin structure, as seen with other members of this RNA class[1][9][10]. No direct links to specific diseases, drugs, or established biomarker use have been reported for this gene. At present, LINC01163 should not be considered a classical drug target but may gain interest as basic lncRNA research progresses.
