novel transcript, antisense to NBPF20

"novel transcript, antisense to NBPF20" (ENSG00000303361) refers to a long non-coding RNA gene annotated in the human genome that is antisense to the NBPF20 protein-coding gene. It does not encode a protein and is not described in major functional, disease, or drug-target databases. There is insufficient published evidence to support any role as a therapeutic target, biomarker, or disease-gene. It is likely an annotation for a putative lncRNA, detected by computational transcriptome analysis rather than experimental validation[3]. The actual NBPF20 gene (NBPF member 20) is a protein-coding gene, unrelated to this antisense lncRNA, and is found as ENSG00000162825[1][2][5][6][7][8]. Therefore, if you intended an actual target for therapeutic or drug discovery purposes, ENSG00000303361 is not appropriate, and the correct entry would be NBPF20 (ENSG00000162825)[1][2][5][8].
