Long intergenic non-protein coding RNA 2078 (LINC02078)

Long intergenic non-protein coding RNA 2078 (LINC02078) is a long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) transcribed from the human genome on chromosome 17 (chr17:79707266-79712317, hg38), consisting of two exons and spanning 4,237 base pairs[1][3][5]. It does not encode a protein, as supported by multiple coding potential analyses confirming its non-coding status[1]. Like other lincRNAs, LINC02078 may function in the regulation of gene expression, for example by serving as molecular scaffolds for chromatin-associated protein complexes or by modulating RNA-protein interactions[7]. While lincRNAs are increasingly studied for their roles in cancer and other diseases, there is currently no specific literature linking LINC02078 to any particular biological process, disease, or therapeutic targeting[1][3][5][7]. Its aliases include HP09025, CTD-2116F7.1, and its gene symbols or IDs in various databases such as HGNC and Ensembl.
