Chromosome 12 open reading frame 76 pseudogene

Chromosome 12 open reading frame 76 pseudogene is annotated as a human pseudogene, typically defined as a segment of DNA with sequence similarity to a known gene but lacking the ability to produce a functional protein due to disabling mutations such as premature stop codons or frameshifts. Pseudogenes like this are considered “genomic fossils” and are usually not translated to functional proteins, although some may play roles in regulating expression of related protein-coding genes at the RNA level. There is no established role for this specific pseudogene in human physiology or disease, nor is it considered a target for therapeutic intervention.
