LYPLAL1 antisense RNA 1 (head to head) (LYPLAL1-DT)

LYPLAL1 antisense RNA 1 (head to head) (LYPLAL1-DT, also known as LYPLAL1-AS1) is a long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) transcribed from the antisense strand adjacent to the protein-coding gene LYPLAL1 on chromosome 1q41[1][2][8]. It is classified as a divergent transcript and acts as an antisense lncRNA, but it does not encode a protein[1][7]. While its precise functions remain incompletely defined, LYPLAL1-DT may regulate the cell-type-specific expression of the adjacent LYPLAL1 gene in cis[3]. There are currently no known roles for this transcript as a therapeutic target, no approved drugs targeting it, and no established links to specific diseases or biomarker usage[1][2][3].
