EZR pseudogene 1 (EZRP1)

EZR pseudogene 1 is a non-coding genomic locus that shares sequence similarity with the protein-coding EZR gene (ezrin), but carries mutations or lacks regulatory elements necessary for gene expression and protein-coding function. Such pseudogenes are classified based on origin (processed, unprocessed, or unitary), and may participate in RNA-level regulation, such as miRNA competition, influencing the expression levels of their parent or related genes. While pseudogenes have emerging roles in gene regulatory networks and may have indirect relevance in diseases such as cancer through their regulatory RNA products, EZRP1 itself does not encode a functional protein nor is it targeted for therapeutic intervention[4][5][7].
