PCGEM1
non-coding RNA in the species Homo sapiens
Prostate-specific transcript 1 (non-protein coding), also known as PCGEM1, is a long non-coding RNA gene. In humans, it is located on chromosome 2q32. It is over-expressed in prostate cancer. In a study of prostate tumours from 88 men, levels of PCGEM1 were found to be higher in prostate cancer cells in African-American men than in Caucasian-American men. The mortality rate of prostate cancer is highest in African-American men.
PCGEM1 inhibits doxorubicin-induced apoptosis of cells, via delayed induction of p53 and p21.
“PCGEM1” enters the record as non-coding RNA in the species Homo sapiens. Crown Archives preserves that source wording while asking what PCGEM1, non-coding and species can confirm, complicate or overturn.
Why this record matters
“PCGEM1” is worth following because a concise public description often conceals a longer documentary argument. Here, PCGEM1, non-coding and species provides the most credible route into that argument.
Datasets, specimens, observations and peer-reviewed methods provide the appropriate test for the technical claims summarized here. The source revision retrieved here is dated Oct 18, 2025. The linked authority identifier is Q18045533. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference.
Current terminology should not be projected backward without checking the classification used when the underlying evidence was created. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
How to read it
Check terminology, classification and the date of the cited evidence. Scientific names and technical consensus can change while older records retain historical value.
- Current terminology
- Classification context
- Finding cited technical literature
Primary datasets, specimen catalogues, standards bodies and the most recent peer-reviewed literature.
Three-step research path
- Establish the record: confirm the title “PCGEM1”, its source revision and the description used here.
- Expand the search: follow PCGEM1 primary sources, PCGEM1 archive and PCGEM1 research across catalogues and specialist indexes.
- Test the account: compare the strongest cited source with the responsible institution’s current record and note any disagreement.
