Long intergenic non-protein coding RNA 2863 (LINC02863)

LINC02863 (long intergenic non-protein coding RNA 2863) is a human long intergenic non-coding RNA gene encoding RNA transcripts longer than 200 nucleotides that do not overlap annotated protein-coding genes[1][5][7]. Long intergenic non-coding RNAs (lincRNAs) like LINC02863 are a subset of long non-coding RNAs distinguished by their position in the genome and lack of protein-coding potential. Although many lincRNAs have regulatory roles such as modulating chromatin structure, regulating transcription, or acting as enhancers, only a small fraction have been functionally characterized to date. There is currently no published information describing the specific biological function, disease association, or therapeutic relevance of LINC02863.
