### LINC01861 Gene Overview

**Gene Symbol**: LINC01861

LINC01861 is a long intergenic non-coding RNA (lncRNA) gene located on chromosome 3. As a lncRNA, it plays a role in regulating a variety of cellular processes, including gene expression and chromatin remodeling. Non-coding RNAs such as LINC01861 do not translate into proteins but have emerged as key regulators of genomic architecture and cellular function.

#### 1. Associated Genes
- **Gene Neighbors**: LINC01861 is often associated with nearby genes on chromosome 3, including:
  - **LOC101927141**
  - **GPC6**
  - **ALDH1A3**
- **Regulatory Associations**: While specific associations with other genes might not be commonly documented, potential interactions may involve genes that participate in pathways modulated by lncRNAs, including genes involved in various signaling pathways and transcription regulation.

#### 2. Aging and Age-Related Diseases
- **Aging Association**: Current literature on LINC01861 in the context of aging is limited and may not yet be comprehensively characterized.
