Family with sequence similarity 185 member B, pseudogene (FAM185BP)

Family with sequence similarity 185 member B, pseudogene (FAM185BP) is a human pseudogene located on chromosome 7, 76.7–76.8 Mbp, which is a non-functional paralog of FAM185A[1][3]. The FAM185BP pseudogene encodes a non-functional protein that is nearly identical for the first 356 amino acids to FAM185A isoform 1 but lacks protein-coding ability and does not have a defined biological or therapeutic function[1]. As a pseudogene, it is not known to be involved in drug action, biomarker status, or any established disease roles. Pseudogenes like FAM185BP may sometimes have regulatory roles at the RNA level, but there is no current evidence to indicate such a function for FAM185BP in the literature reviewed[1][3][5]. FAM185BP is a canonical pseudogene, not a functional receptor, enzyme, transporter, or other classical drug target[1][3]. There is no evidence that it encodes a functional protein or participates in conventional biological or disease roles or is targeted by drugs[1][3][5]. The entry is potentially misleading as a therapeutic target; hence, is_incorrect is set to true.
