Long intergenic non-protein coding RNA 2803 (LINC02803)

Long intergenic non-protein coding RNA 2803 (LINC02803) is a human long non-coding RNA gene that produces a transcript not overlapping protein-coding genes. Long intergenic non-coding RNAs typically act as epigenetic regulators, participating in chromatin remodeling and modulation of gene transcription, but few have direct evidence supporting roles in specific diseases or as therapeutic targets. There is currently no evidence that LINC02803 is a validated therapeutic target, nor are any drugs known to act directly on this RNA. The canonical gene description is “long intergenic non-protein coding RNA 2803” and its standard abbreviation is LINC02803. LINC02803 is annotated as a gene locus, with no current evidence of protein-coding or direct involvement in major disease pathways. General features of lincRNAs include regulation of gene expression, chromatin architecture, and transcriptional control. Only a minority of lincRNAs have specific cellular functions characterized. No aliases or alternate names except LINC02803 were identified. There are no published reports of direct drug interactions, biomarker use, or disease causality specifically for LINC02803. General lincRNA functions, however, may contribute to gene regulatory networks and could be implicated in disease via secondary effects. There is nothing to suggest the gene name is misspelled or incorrect, and no indication of conflicting or surplus information in sources checked.
