Chromosome 18 open reading frame 25 pseudogene (LOC729141)

Chromosome 18 open reading frame 25 pseudogene (LOC729141) is annotated as a pseudogene located on human chromosome 18[4]. Pseudogenes are genomic DNA sequences that resemble functional genes but are generally considered non-functional due to mutations or truncations that prevent normal protein production[6]. Some pseudogenes can produce non-coding RNAs that influence gene regulation, but there is no evidence that LOC729141 is actively transcribed or has regulatory roles. It does not encode a functional protein, is not a drug target, and has no known direct links to human disease. Its main relevance is as a genetic marker or for understanding genome evolution and regulation[4][6].
