Long intergenic non-protein coding RNA 1823 (LINC01823)

Long intergenic non-protein coding RNA 1823 (LINC01823) is a human gene that produces a long non-coding RNA molecule longer than 200 nucleotides, transcribed from an intergenic genomic region that does not overlap annotated protein-coding genes. LINC01823 is annotated and catalogued in major genomic databases but is as yet functionally uncharacterized. Other lincRNAs function in gene regulation, chromatin remodeling, RNA stabilization, and enhancer-associated activities, often exhibiting tissue specificity, but specific biological activities and disease associations for LINC01823 are presently unknown[1][3].LINC01823 is distinct from protein-coding genes and does not encode a receptor, enzyme, or similar molecular target. It belongs in the class of long intergenic non-coding RNAs, molecules that modulate biological processes, often related to gene regulation but generally not as direct drug targets. Most lincRNAs, including LINC01823, await functional characterization, and structured data regarding its physiology, pathology, or drug interactions are currently lacking[1][3][5].
