long intergenic non-protein coding RNA 2575 (LINC02575)

LINC02575 (long intergenic non-protein coding RNA 2575) is a long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) located on human chromosome 21 and annotated as AP001065.15 in some genomic databases[1][5][7]. LINC02575 does not encode a protein but instead functions as a regulatory RNA. Experimental evidence suggests it is upregulated in laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma (LSCC) and promotes cancer cell proliferation, migration, and invasion, indicating a contributory role in tumorigenesis[4][3]. LINC02575 may serve as a prognostic biomarker or potential diagnostic indicator in certain cancers, particularly in LSCC[4][3][6]. No known drugs are reported to interact directly with LINC02575, and it is not currently used as a direct therapeutic target or classified under classical druggable gene families such as receptors or enzymes[1][5][7]. Its functional classification is best captured under 'Other,' describing its role as a regulatory non-coding RNA with emerging relevance in cancer biology.
