Chromatin accessibility complex protein 1 pseudogene

Chromatin accessibility complex protein 1 pseudogene (ENSG00000254273) is a segment of DNA with high sequence similarity to a functional gene believed to encode a chromatin accessibility complex protein, but it is incapable of producing a functional protein product due to disruptive mutations such as premature stop codons or frameshifts[1][2][7]. Pseudogenes can sometimes have regulatory functions at the RNA level, for instance acting as miRNA sponges or competing endogenous RNAs, altering gene expression; however, the function of this specific pseudogene is uncharacterized, and pseudogenes are not considered therapeutic targets or receptors in molecular pharmacology[1][2][4][7].
