Abhydrolase domain containing 10 pseudogene

Abhydrolase domain containing 10 pseudogene (ENSG00000270934, LOC100420531) is a sequence in the human genome that resembles the protein-coding gene ABHD10 but is presumed non-functional. Pseudogenes generally have high sequence similarity to a functional gene but lack the ability to produce a protein due to disabling mutations or absence of necessary regulatory elements. Most are transcribed at low levels, and their transcripts are not functional proteins. In some cases, pseudogenes have regulatory roles at the RNA level, but most remain functionally inert. This entry is sometimes misannotated on gene lists due to similarity with the functional ABHD10 gene (which encodes a mitochondrial depalmitoylase), so caution is needed in annotation. For drug and target information, reference should be made to the protein-coding ABHD10 gene, not its pseudogene.
