Carcinoembryonic antigen-related cell adhesion molecule 21 pseudogene

Carcinoembryonic antigen-related cell adhesion molecule 21 pseudogene (ENSG00000224366) is a classified pseudogene in the human genome. Pseudogenes are defined as genomic sequences that bear significant sequence similarity to known genes but are generally non-functional and do not encode active proteins due to disabling mutations or loss of regulatory elements[2][3][7]. There are no known biological, diagnostic, or therapeutic roles for this pseudogene. Occasionally, some pseudogenes exhibit regulatory RNA functions, but there is no published evidence for functional activity of this particular pseudogene. It is not tracked or annotated as a drug target, receptor, or enzyme in major human genomics or drug development resources[2][3][7].
