AMME chromosomal region gene 1-like pseudogene 1 (AMMECR1LP1)

AMME chromosomal region gene 1-like pseudogene 1 (AMMECR1LP1), also known as AMMECR1 like pseudogene 1, is a noncoding genomic sequence classified as a pseudogene, located on human chromosome 13 (chr13:96573659-96574499, hg38).[3][5] It shares sequence similarity with the AMMECR1 gene but does not encode a functional protein product. There is no evidence from curated databases or published literature that AMMECR1LP1 is translated, has biological function, or is involved in any signaling, disease process, or is a drug target. It is designated in gene databases with identifiers NCBI Gene: 100420921 and Ensembl: ENSG00000233273[3][5]. Confusion may arise because the AMMECR1 gene (on the X chromosome) is a protein-coding gene implicated in human disease, but AMMECR1LP1 is its pseudogene homolog on chromosome 13, which is not known to have any functional role or therapeutic relevance[1][5]. AMMECR1LP1 is a pseudogene with no known biological function, protein product, disease relevance, or therapeutic targeting information[3][5].
