C17orf58 pseudogene

The C17orf58 pseudogene (ENSG00000261575) is classified as a pseudogene, meaning it is a genetic sequence with high similarity to a protein-coding gene but is not capable of encoding a functional protein product[1][3][4]. Pseudogenes can arise through duplication or retrotransposition but lack the necessary regulatory elements, intact open reading frames, or accumulated disabling mutations such as frameshifts or premature stop codons, hence do not produce proteins[3][5]. Most pseudogenes, including the C17orf58 pseudogene, do not have established biological functions or roles in disease, and they are not considered therapeutic targets such as receptors, enzymes, or transporters[1][3][5]. Some pseudogenes in general can have regulatory roles via noncoding RNA mechanisms or as microRNA decoys in select cases, but there is no evidence suggesting such a role for C17orf58 pseudogene[5]. Additional notes: - The C17orf58 gene (not the pseudogene) is a protein-coding gene and should not be confused with the pseudogene[2]. - This entry is marked as **not a therapeutic target** and should not be used as such. No drugs or mechanisms of action are associated with this pseudogene. - The query appears to refer to a *pseudogene* that lacks direct therapeutic significance; this is a common confusion when gene lists include both functional proteins and pseudogenes.
