Bromodomain PHD finger transcription factor pseudogene

Bromodomain PHD finger transcription factor pseudogene (ENSG00000263369) is a *pseudogene* related to the protein-coding gene 'Bromodomain PHD finger transcription factor' (BPTF). Pseudogenes are DNA segments that resemble real genes but do not code for functional proteins because of disabling mutations or incomplete transcription. Although some pseudogenes may have regulatory roles—such as generating non-coding RNAs or acting as microRNA decoys—this is not generally the case and there is no experimental evidence that this specific pseudogene participates in major biological processes or diseases. Pseudogenes are not considered therapeutic targets; instead, drug discovery focuses on functional protein-coding genes such as BPTF, which is a bona fide transcription factor and chromatin remodeler involved in gene regulation, development, and disease[5][6][7].
