Long intergenic non-protein coding RNA 2039 (LINC02039)

Long intergenic non-protein coding RNA 2039 (LINC02039) is a human long intergenic non-coding RNA (lincRNA) gene located on chromosome 5q23.2 (genomic coordinates: chr5:126179576–126193849)[3][5]. As a lincRNA, LINC02039 does not encode a protein but instead functions at the RNA level, potentially regulating gene expression, interacting with chromatin modification complexes or RNA-binding proteins, and contributing to diverse cellular processes[7]. Although lincRNAs as a class have established importance in gene regulation and disease, there is currently no direct evidence linking LINC02039 specifically to well-characterized biological functions or roles in human disease, nor is it recognized as a direct therapeutic target[1][5][3][7].
