SHANK2 antisense RNA 1 (SHANK2-AS1)

SHANK2 antisense RNA 1 (SHANK2-AS1) is a long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) gene affiliated with the lncRNA class and does not encode a protein product[1]. There is limited functional information publicly available about this transcript, and it is not currently considered a molecular target such as a receptor, enzyme, transporter, or transcription factor[1]. While the SHANK2 sense gene is highly relevant in neurodevelopment and neuropsychiatric disorders, SHANK2-AS1 itself is mainly classified as a non-protein-coding RNA with unclear functional significance[1]. The search results and established databases identify SHANK2-AS1 as a long non-coding RNA, not as a protein-coding therapeutic target or receptor. It should not be confused with the SHANK2 protein, which is a synaptic scaffold protein implicated in autism spectrum disorder and related to synaptic function[2][3][4]. There is no evidence from the results that SHANK2-AS1 is currently utilized or explored as a direct therapeutic target or biomarker, nor are there known drugs interacting with it.
