Family with sequence similarity 136 member C, pseudogene (FAM136CP)

Family with sequence similarity 136 member C, pseudogene (FAM136CP) is a pseudogene, meaning it is a nonfunctional copy of a gene and does not encode a protein product[1][3]. While pseudogenes were once considered "junk" DNA, some have regulatory RNA functions such as acting as microRNA decoys or influencing the stability and expression of related protein-coding genes[3]. There is currently no evidence that FAM136CP is involved in any specific biological process or disease, nor is it a known therapeutic target[1][3]. Note: - FAM136CP is classified as a pseudogene, not a protein-coding gene, receptor, enzyme, or other classical drug target[1][3]. - Many pseudogenes may influence gene regulation at the RNA level but are not conventionally considered therapeutic targets or biomarkers unless direct disease or functional evidence is established[3]. - No drugs, mechanisms of drug action, or specific clinical biomarkers are reported for FAM136CP[1][3].
