Overview

Long intergenic non-protein coding RNA 2908 (LINC02908) is a human long non-coding RNA gene associated with the regulation of cell growth and chemotherapy resistance in cancers such as pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma and leukemia. It is classified as a long non-coding RNA rather than a protein-coding gene, and acts as a regulatory molecule modulating microRNA activity and downstream gene expression. Although implicated in cancer biology, it is not a classical drug target such as a receptor or enzyme, but its expression and activity are of interest for cancer research and possible future interventions.
