BMS1 pseudogene 17 (BMS1P17)

BMS1 pseudogene 17 is a pseudogene in Homo sapiens, located on chromosome 14 (chr14:19300928-19317893, hg38), with aliases including LINC00516 and BMS1 ribosome biogenesis factor pseudogene 17[3][5]. As a pseudogene, it is not transcribed or translated into functional protein, and does not play a known direct role in cellular pathways or disease processes[2][4]. Pseudogenes such as BMS1P17 usually arise from duplication or mutation of a parental gene (in this case, the functional BMS1, which encodes a GTPase required for ribosomal assembly and is involved in rRNA processing[1]), but lack functions associated with enzymes, receptors, or other drug targets[2][4]. There are currently no known drugs, mechanisms of action, biomarkers, or disease associations linked to BMS1P17, and it is not considered a therapeutic target.
