Novel transcript, antisense to TSPO

This locus encodes a long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) that is transcribed antisense to the TSPO gene. There is no current evidence that this antisense transcript functions as a receptor, enzyme, transporter, or known therapeutic target. Its biological function and significance in disease pathways have not been established. It is distinct from the protein-coding TSPO (translocator protein) gene, which is a well-known mitochondrial protein associated with steroidogenesis, apoptosis, and neurodegenerative diseases, but this antisense lncRNA itself is not a canonical drug target. The entry is a valid gene, but as a non-coding antisense RNA, it is not generally recognized as a therapeutic target or classified in major drug target classes. No specific aliases, roles in disease, known functions, or drug interactions are documented in current databases.
