ABHD17A pseudogene 8 (ABHD17AP8)

ABHD17A pseudogene 8 (ABHD17AP8) is classified as an unprocessed pseudogene in humans and does not encode a functional protein. It is located on chromosome 16 and is also known by the alias FAM108A9P. As a pseudogene, ABHD17AP8 does not possess known biological function, disease association, or therapeutic target relevance, and it is not considered a receptor, enzyme, transporter, or other druggable molecular target[1][7][9][10].\n\nKey clarifications:\n- Although ABHD17A (the protein-coding gene) has established roles as a depalmitoylase, ABHD17AP8 is a pseudogene and does not produce a functional protein[3][7][9].\n- No evidence links ABHD17AP8 to drugs, mechanisms of action, biomarkers, or safety concerns.\n- As a pseudogene, it is not considered a therapeutic target by standard definitions.
