UBE2Q1 antisense RNA 1 (UBE2Q1-AS1)

UBE2Q1 antisense RNA 1 (UBE2Q1-AS1) is a long non-coding RNA transcribed in the antisense orientation relative to the UBE2Q1 gene. As a member of the antisense RNA class, it is presumed to act primarily as a regulator of gene expression, potentially affecting the expression, processing, or stability of the UBE2Q1 sense transcript or other related genes. Antisense RNAs such as UBE2Q1-AS1 can modulate transcription and epigenetic states, participate in chromatin remodeling, or influence mRNA splicing and stability, with dysregulation linked to diseases including various cancers[2][3]. UBE2Q1-AS1 itself is not a protein-coding gene nor considered a canonical therapeutic target such as a receptor or enzyme, though interest in non-coding RNAs as drug targets is increasing due to their implications in gene regulation and disease[2][3].
