DHHC-type zinc finger pseudogene

This entry represents a nonfunctional DNA sequence resembling a member of the DHHC-type zinc finger protein family, annotated as a pseudogene in the human genome (Ensembl ENSG00000251193). Pseudogenes typically result from gene duplication or retrotransposition events and accumulate mutations that disable their ability to encode functional proteins[3][5]. While some pseudogenes have regulatory roles at the RNA level, the majority are biologically inert and lack clinical significance. The designation "novel" here signals that this particular pseudogene is newly annotated or not well-characterized, with no evidence for protein-coding or relevant biological or disease associations. By molecular classification, it belongs to the pseudogene class and is not a therapeutic target, receptor, enzyme, transporter, or transcription factor[3][5].

Not a druggable target
