Acyl-CoA synthetase medium-chain family member 1 pseudogene (ACSM1 pseudogene)

Acyl-CoA synthetase medium-chain family member 1 pseudogene is a human pseudogene, meaning it is a segment of DNA that resembles a functional gene (specifically, the ACSM1 gene) but is nonfunctional and does not encode a protein product[1][2][3][5][7]. Pseudogenes like this may arise from gene duplication or retrotransposition events and usually accumulate mutations that render them inactive[2]. This particular pseudogene does not function as an enzyme, receptor, transporter, or other protein class relevant to therapeutic targeting. It is not known to have biological function, disease association, or drug interactions.
