Colon cancer associated transcript 1 is a long non-coding RNA that, in humans, is encoded by the CCAT1 gene.[2][3]

This gene produces a long non-coding RNA that promotes tumor formation and is upregulated in colon cancer and other cancer cell types.[4] This transcript may regulate long range chromosomal interactions, including at the Myc oncoprotein locus.[5] This RNA may also function as a molecular sponge for microRNAs.[6]
