Annotated Information

Approved Symbol

DANT1 (DXZ4 associated non-coding transcript 1, proximal)

Characterization of the DANT1 and DANT2 lncRNAs [1].

Chromosome

Xq23

Ensembl ID

ENSG00000229335

Characteristics

DANT1 generates an array-traversing transcript (ATT) with the longest DANT1 transcript entirely contained within, but anti-sense to, the longest predicted DANT2 transcript.[1] DANT1 produces both non-ATT and ATT transcript isoforms.[1] Low levels of H3K9me3 can be observed at the DANT1 promoter in hESC.[1]

Function

DANT1 lncRNA is linked to changes in DXZ4 chromatin.[1]

Expression

The short DANT1 transcript detected in hESCs was of particularly low abundance, and could only be confidently detected in prostate, testis, trachea and spinal cord.[1]
