Long intergenic non-protein coding RNA 1875 (LINC01875)

Long intergenic non-protein coding RNA 1875 (LINC01875) is a human gene encoding a long non-coding RNA (>200 nucleotides) that does not overlap with protein-coding loci. It belongs to the class of long intergenic non-coding RNAs (lincRNAs), a subset of long non-coding RNAs that are implicated in diverse processes of gene regulation, such as chromatin remodeling, transcriptional and post-transcriptional regulation, and possibly in disease, especially cancer. LINC01875 itself has been identified as one of the lncRNAs differentially expressed in tumor versus normal samples during biomarker discovery for cancers such as lung cancer, but its precise molecular function, protein partners, and disease mechanisms are not well-characterized[1][2][3][5][7]. No evidence establishes it as a direct drug target or details interacting drugs.
