Family with sequence similarity 106 member C (FAM106C)

Family with sequence similarity 106 member C (FAM106C) is a pseudogene affiliated with the long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) class and does not encode a functional protein or receptor [3][5][8]. It has been provisionally annotated in some resources as a "putative protein," but there is no experimentally validated protein product, and it is most accurately classified as a non-coding RNA/pseudogene [3][5][8]. Pseudogenes like FAM106C are often retained in the genome and may participate in regulatory RNA networks, potentially modulating the expression of other genes through RNA-based mechanisms such as acting as miRNA decoys or producing regulatory RNAs [4][8]. There is no evidence that FAM106C serves as a direct pharmacological or therapeutic target, nor as a biomarker, and no interacting drugs or established disease mechanisms involving this pseudogene have been reported [3][5][7][8]. In summary, FAM106C is not considered a druggable target or functional molecule in therapeutic contexts.
