Long intergenic non-protein coding RNA 587 (LINC00587)

LINC00587 is a long intergenic non-protein coding RNA gene located on chromosome 9 (chr9:102,519,636-102,657,514 on the GRCh38 genome build) that is classified as a lincRNA (long intergenic non-coding RNA)[1][3][5][7]. It does not code for a protein—no protein translation is annotated—and there is currently no evidence that it acts as a conventional therapeutic target (e.g., receptor, enzyme, transporter). There are no well-established biological functions, disease associations, or known roles for LINC00587 in the literature, nor are there known drugs, mechanisms of action, or safety concerns related to this gene. Current databases do not list linked literature regarding specific function, disease association, or druggability[5]. It is not considered a protein, nor a receptor, enzyme, or other classic druggable target, but belongs to the class of lincRNAs, which may play regulatory roles at the RNA level.
