Long intergenic non-protein coding RNA 2955 (LINC02955)

Long intergenic non-protein coding RNA 2955, abbreviated as LINC02955, is a gene transcribed into a long non-coding RNA molecule over 200 nucleotides in length that does not overlap known protein-coding genes[5]. LincRNAs broadly regulate gene expression at the chromatin and transcriptional level and may exert enhancer-like activity or help stabilize RNAs; their functions can be highly tissue-specific. Only a minority of lincRNAs have defined biological roles or are linked to disease states, and for LINC02955 specifically, current genomic and gene-centric databases do not report direct involvement in known cellular pathways, disease processes, or as drug targets[1][3][5].
