Chromosome 11 open reading frame 73 pseudogene (C11orf73 pseudogene)

Chromosome 11 open reading frame 73 pseudogene (C11orf73 pseudogene) is a non-coding genomic element located on chromosome 11, designated by the Ensembl identifier ENSG00000227133[3]. As a **pseudogene**, it does not encode a functional protein product due to disruptive mutations or loss of regulatory elements. Pseudogenes like this can sometimes be transcribed and influence gene regulation—such as acting as antisense transcripts that modulate the expression of their parental or related genes—but most do not contribute to direct protein function[1][2][4]. There is no evidence to suggest it is a direct disease target, interacts with drugs, or acts as a biomarker. Its main value is in genetic, evolutionary, and genomic studies that involve pseudogene annotation.
