Long intergenic non-protein coding RNA 1738 (LINC01738)

Long intergenic non-protein coding RNA 1738 (LINC01738) is a human gene that encodes a long non-coding RNA classified as a lincRNA, meaning it is longer than 200 nucleotides and transcribed autonomously from regions of the genome that do not overlap with protein-coding genes[1][3][5]. The functional roles of lincRNAs in general include regulating the expression of neighboring genes, remodeling chromatin, stabilizing RNA, and modulating transcription, often in a tissue-specific manner[3]. While thousands of lincRNAs have been annotated, only a small fraction have clear functional annotation, and there is no specific disease association, biomarker role, or therapeutic targeting described for LINC01738 to date[1][5]. LINC01738 is listed in genomic resources such as NCBI Gene (ID: 107984953) and Ensembl (ENSG00000227947), and is affiliated with the lncRNA gene class[1][5].
