Family with sequence similarity 182 member A pseudogene (FAM182A pseudogene)

ENSG00000231484, also known as the family with sequence similarity 182 member A pseudogene (FAM182A pseudogene) or AC023141.7, is classified as a pseudogene in the human genome and does not encode a functional protein. Pseudogenes arise from gene duplication or retrotransposition events, accumulating mutations that disrupt their coding potential, and generally do not serve as functional therapeutic targets. While most pseudogenes do not have protein-coding capability, some may produce non-coding RNAs that can regulate gene expression, but there is no evidence that this specific pseudogene has such functions. As a result, ENSG00000231484 is not considered a receptor, enzyme, transporter, or otherwise a direct drug target, nor is it associated with any known drug interactions, biomarker usage, or safety concerns.
