Coiled-coil domain containing 86 pseudogene

This entry, LOC100420514, represents a pseudogene related to the coiled-coil domain containing 86 gene (CCDC86). Pseudogenes are DNA sequences similar to known genes but are typically non-functional due to mutations or truncations and do not produce active proteins. Consequently, this pseudogene does not have known biological functions, disease associations, or therapeutic targeting relevance. For research or therapeutic purposes, the functional gene (CCDC86) should be referenced instead[4][5][7].\n\nKey clarifications:\n- This is not a functional gene or protein—it is a pseudogene with no current evidence of protein expression or direct disease involvement.\n- If you are interested in the active gene/protein, refer to Coiled-coil domain containing 86 (CCDC86), which is distinct from this pseudogene and involved in chromosome segregation during mitosis, with potential links to aggressive forms of cancer[5][7][8].\n- ENSG00000251352/LOC100420514 is not considered a druggable target or therapeutic molecule in databases or research literature[4][5][7][8].\n\nIf you are seeking actionable or structured data for a drug target, use Coiled-coil domain containing 86 (CCDC86) (HGNC: 28359; UniProt: Q9H6F5; Ensembl: ENSG00000110104). The current entry is not suitable for therapeutic or biomarker research.
