LINCADL
Approved Name
LINCADL: lincRNA adipogenesis and lipogenesis associated linc-ADAL
Characteristics
LINCADL is located between protein-coding genes AQPEP and AP3S1 on chromosome 5 [1]. RNAseq, 3′ RACE (rapid amplification of cDNA ends), and the 5′ TSS identified by CAGE (35) in human adipocytes suggest that LINCADL has two alternatively spliced isoforms sharing the same promoter and isoform 2 is the main adipose transcript [1]. Phylogenetic information–based codon substitution frequency (PhyloCSF) analyses suggested that the two LINCADL transcripts had low probabilities of containing open reading frames for coding sequences [1].
Function
LINCADL regulates adipocyte differentiation and modulates de novo lipogenesis in mature adipocytes [1]. LINCADL modulates IGF2BP2 posttranscriptional regulation of distinct metabolic genes in adipocytes [1]. LINCADL interacts with hnRNPU in the nucleus and insulin-like growth factor 2 mRNA binding protein 2 in the cytoplasm [1].
Regulation
LINCADL expression was reduced in mature adipocytes treated with GW9662, a PPAR antagonist [1].
Diseases
- Obesity [1].
Expression
LINCADL is highly expressed in adipose tissues [1]
