Annotated Information
Name
LINC02599: long intergenic non-protein coding RNA 2599 (HGNC:53931)
Alias
AC026904.1
Characteristics
LINC02599 is a lncRNA gene with a little or no protein coding potential located at chromosomal location 8q11.21. RNA-FISH data showed that AC026904.1 was highly enriched in the nucleus. It could used as novel biomarkers and therapeutic targets for metastatic breast cancer. [1]
Function
This lncRNA functions as an enhancer RNA (eRNA) to activate Slug expression at both transcriptional and post-transcriptional levels in cis in breast cancer. Because AC026904.1 is a lncRNA highly enriched in the nucleus it may act to regulate its neighboring genes. [1]
Regulation
LINC02599 is regulated by TGF-β. It is upregulated through TGF-β/Smad pathway in breast cancer. [1]
Expression
LINC02599 is highly expressed in metastatic breast cancer and closely associated with poor prognosis.[1]
Disease
Breast cancer [1]
