Long intergenic non-protein coding RNA 2989 (LINC02989)

Long intergenic non-protein coding RNA 2989 (LINC02989) is a human long non-coding RNA (lncRNA), classified as a non-protein-coding transcript located in intergenic regions of the genome[5][3][1]. As an lncRNA, LINC02989 is part of a broad class of transcripts (lncRNAs) that do not encode proteins but can be involved in the regulation of gene expression and chromatin structure[5][7][8]. While lncRNAs collectively have diverse roles in development, differentiation, and disease—including cancer—there is currently *no direct evidence* that LINC02989 itself functions as a therapeutic target, disease biomarker, or drug-interacting molecule[5][7][8]. No specific biological processes or disease associations for this lncRNA have been characterized in detail, and it is not listed as a target for any known drugs. The aliases include both "LINC02989" and the less common "lnc-MICAL2-1"[5].
