XXYLT1 antisense RNA 1 (XXYLT1-AS1)

XXYLT1 antisense RNA 1 (XXYLT1-AS1) is a human long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) gene located on chromosome 3 (chr3:195094588-195096057, GRCh38), classified as an antisense transcript to the xyloside xylosyltransferase 1 (XXYLT1) gene[4][6][7][9]. It does not code for a protein and its precise biological functions are not well characterized, but as a lncRNA, it may be involved in the regulation of gene expression and other epigenetic functions[6][7][9]. There are currently no data indicating XXYLT1-AS1 itself is a therapeutic target, a disease biomarker, or has direct drug interactions; its related lncRNA, XXYLT1-AS2, has been implicated in cancer biology, but these findings do not extend to XXYLT1-AS1 based on present evidence[1][8][10]. Key contextual points: - **XXYLT1-AS1 should not be confused with XXYLT1-AS2**, a separate antisense lncRNA with evidence for disease relevance in hepatocellular carcinoma[1][8][10]. - XXYLT1-AS1 is included in genomic databases with RNA-only biological annotation and no current links to specific molecular pathways, mechanisms, or diseases[4][6][7][9]. - Most standard resources classify XXYLT1-AS1 as "other" in molecular function, with its roles inferred generally from lncRNA biology rather than specific research[6][7].
