Chromosome 1 open reading frame 114 pseudogene

Chromosome 1 open reading frame 114 pseudogene is a genomic locus annotated as a pseudogene on human chromosome 1. “Pseudogene” refers to a DNA sequence that closely resembles a functional gene but contains deleterious mutations (such as indels or stop codons) rendering it non-functional—it does not encode a functional protein[2][4][6]. Such sequences are remnants of former genes that have lost their protein-coding potential through evolutionary processes, typically by gene duplication or retrotransposition mechanisms[2][4][1]. Pseudogenes are common in the human genome and are usually not involved in biological pathways or disease processes, although rare exceptions may exist[7]. This gene is not considered a receptor, enzyme, transporter, or any classical therapeutic target, nor does it function as a protein-coding gene. It has no established biological, pharmacological, or clinical significance and is generally considered a nonfunctional genetic relic[2][4][6]. If you are seeking a functional gene, receptor, or commonly researched drug target, C1orf114 pseudogene (ENSG00000256748) is not appropriate for those purposes.
