S-phase cancer associated transcript 8 (SCAT8)

S-phase cancer associated transcript 8 (SCAT8), also referred to as EYS-AS1 or EYS antisense RNA 1, is a long non-coding RNA gene (Entrez Gene ID: 112935969, Ensembl: ENSG00000236345) located on chromosome 6q12. It is annotated as a non-coding RNA (lncRNA) that was initially identified in association with S-phase cancer, but its precise biological function, molecular mechanism, or disease involvement remains largely uncharacterized. No evidence currently supports its role as a direct therapeutic target. There is no information about clinical significance, associated disease phenotypes, or interaction with therapeutics. SCAT8 does not encode a protein or function as a classic therapeutic target such as a receptor, enzyme, or transporter. Its primary characterization comes from sequence-based annotation and proposed associations with cancer, though without functional validation. No alias or synonym suggests a connection to other well-characterized targets. All entries indicate absence of biomarker utility, lack of drug interactions, and lack of recognized therapeutic relevance or safety concerns.
