STARD7 antisense RNA 1 (STARD7-AS1)

STARD7 antisense RNA 1 (STARD7-AS1) is a long intergenic non-coding RNA (lincRNA) located on chromosome 2 (chr2:96208954-96242621, positive strand) with at least three transcript variants[3]. It is classified as a long non-coding RNA and is not known to encode a protein. The exact function of STARD7-AS1 is not well understood, but it is thought to play a regulatory role in gene expression, potentially through antisense mechanisms. Some studies suggest it may be involved in cancer biology, although details on its role in disease and molecular interactions remain sparse[5]. There are no known direct drug interactions, established mechanisms of action, or notable safety concerns currently reported for this RNA.
