STX5 divergent transcript (STX5-DT)

STX5 divergent transcript (STX5-DT) is a non-coding RNA transcript annotated in genomic databases (NCBI Gene: 105369332, Ensembl: ENSG00000256690) and located on chromosome 11 (hg38: chr11:62832234-62855823)[5]. The transcript is termed "divergent" due to its orientation opposite the nearby *STX5* gene, indicating it originates from bidirectional promoter activity. Divergent transcription is a widespread phenomenon involving the production of non-coding RNAs from promoters and enhancers, and is thought to contribute to the regulation of gene expression, chromatin state, and possibly genome evolution[1][3][4]. There is no evidence that STX5-DT encodes a protein or functions as a canonical therapeutic target, receptor, or enzyme. No known drugs or disease associations are documented for STX5-DT.
