Long intergenic non-protein coding RNA 2142 (LINC02142)

LINC02142 (Long intergenic non-protein coding RNA 2142) is a member of the long intergenic non-coding RNA (lincRNA) family. LincRNAs are a subset of long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs), typically longer than 200 nucleotides and transcribed from regions that do not overlap annotated protein-coding genes[1][5][7]. LincRNAs, including LINC02142, are believed to regulate gene expression, chromatin architecture, and transcription, often with tissue specificity[1]. However, the specific biological role and disease relevance of LINC02142 remain uncharacterized; current knowledge is limited to its identification as an RNA gene without evidence for peptide/protein coding potential or therapeutic targeting[7].
