Acyl-CoA synthetase bubblegum family member 2 pseudogene

ENSG00000284490 refers to the **acyl-CoA synthetase bubblegum family member 2 (ACSBG2) pseudogene**, which is a genomic DNA sequence similar to the functional ACSBG2 gene but is classified as a pseudogene, meaning it does not code for a functional protein product[1][2]. Functional ACSBG2 enzymes are involved in fatty acid metabolism, but as a pseudogene, ENSG00000284490 is not expressed as a protein and does not perform the enzymatic or regulatory functions of active metabolic targets. There is no evidence suggesting that this pseudogene is a therapeutic target, nor is it implicated in disease, drug response, or biomarker roles[1][2]. **Key clarifications:** - This entry is a **pseudogene** and not a protein-coding gene or functional target[2]. - No biological activities, molecular functions, disease roles, or drug interactions are associated with this pseudogene[2]. - The canonical abbreviation "ACSBG2" properly refers to the functional enzyme, not the pseudogene. For the pseudogene, no widely accepted abbreviation is in use[1][2]. - Recording as a target molecule is **incorrect** for any therapeutic or drug discovery context[2].
