long intergenic non-protein coding RNA 1553 (LINC01553)

LINC01553 (long intergenic non-protein coding RNA 1553) is a human gene that encodes a long non-coding RNA rather than a protein[1][3][7]. Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs), including lincRNAs, are transcripts longer than 200 nucleotides that do not produce proteins but may play roles in complex gene regulatory networks[7]. The specific biological functions, disease roles, and therapeutic relevance of LINC01553 have not been established in current literature or databases. Current annotation and nomenclature are sometimes misleading, referring to it as a putative protein, but the accepted molecular biology consensus is that LINC01553 functions as a non-coding RNA[1][3][7].
