Family with sequence similarity 166, member A, pseudogene 7 (FAM166A, pseudogene 7)

FAM166A, pseudogene 7 (ENSG00000237297) is a human pseudogene annotated in databases such as GeneCards and Bgee[1][3][5][7]. Pseudogenes are genomic DNA sequences similar to known genes but generally nonfunctional; they typically lack the full coding potential due to mutations or truncations, and are not expressed as active proteins in cells. "FAM166A" refers to the Family with sequence similarity 166, member A, but the "pseudogene 7" variant is not known to produce a functional protein. It lacks evidence of biological activity, therapeutic targeting, protein interaction, or biomarker use. This gene should not be confused with the functional genes in the FAM166A or FAM46C families, which may have biological relevance, but FAM166A, pseudogene 7 does not have a recognized role in human biology or disease. If you require structured information for a valid therapeutic target, another gene or protein should be specified.
