The function of ENSG00000231721 (LINC-PINT, long independently transcribed non-coding RNA, p53 induced transcript) is as follows. Enhances the binding of the PAF1 complex to target gene promoters and plays a role in negative regulation of transcription (PubMed:30367041). May function as an anchor to keep the PAF1 complex on target gene promoters, sequentially pausing RNA polymerase II- induced mRNA elongation (PubMed:30367041). Inhibits FOXM1-mediated transcription of PHB2 (PubMed:33754036). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:30367041, ECO:0000269|PubMed:33754036}.
