Long intergenic non-protein coding RNA 2901 (LINC02901)

Long intergenic non-protein coding RNA 2901 (LINC02901) is a non-coding RNA gene, meaning it is transcribed into RNA but does not encode a protein[7]. As a member of the long intergenic non-coding RNA (lincRNA) family, it is longer than 200 nucleotides and does not overlap with annotated coding genes[3]. LincRNAs are known to regulate chromatin structure, modulate transcriptional programs, interact with both proteins and nucleic acids, and affect the stability and translation of other RNAs. They may serve as scaffolds for chromatin-modifying complexes or influencers of nearby gene expression, often with high tissue specificity[3][1]. Although some lincRNAs encode short peptides, LINC02901 is annotated as a non-coding RNA. Its aliases include C6orf99 and it corresponds to several gene database identifiers (e.g., HGNC:21179, NCBI Gene:100130967, Ensembl:ENSG00000203711)[7]. There is no evidence that LINC02901 is a therapeutic target nor that it interacts with known drugs or functions as a biomarker or in disease roles based on currently available information.
