Annotated Information
Name
LINC00163: long intergenic non-protein coding RNA 163 (HGNC nomenclature)
"narcolepsy candidate region gene 1A", "narcolepsy candidate-region 1 gene A", NLC1-A, NLC1A[1]
Characteristics
NLC1-A, encoded in NLC1 (a candidate region for susceptibility/resistance to human narcolepsy ), was expressed in human hypothalamus, which also expresses preprohypocretin, 42 a protein important in orchestrating the sleep-wake cycle. NLC1-A includes domains known as integrin β-chain cysteine-rich domain, anaphylatoxin domain, and epidermal growth factor–1 domain signatures. Furthermore, the amino acid sequence of NLC1-A was subjected to secondary structure prediction [1].
It belongs to the category of "Intergenic" in lncRNA classification[1].
Function
The polymorphisms of NLC1-A may be directly involved in resistance to human narcolepsy, indicated by a reporter gene assay that NLC1-A fragments containing the alleles for narcolepsy resistance (D21S0012m [CA]10 allele and rs13046884 g allele) were less transcriptionally active than were those of other alleles[1].
NLC1-A might function as a transporter of certain substances,which has a long loop (residues 78–125) with high hydrophilicity, flexibility, and surface probability that suggests that NLC1-A may be a membrane protein[1].
Diseases
- narcolepsy
Expression
NLC1-A and NLC1-C were expressed in human whole brain and hypothalamus. Notably, NLC1-A was also expressed in human spleen, lung, kidney and skeletal muscle[1].
