Family with sequence similarity 89, member B pseudogene (FAM89B pseudogene)

Family with sequence similarity 89, member B pseudogene (FAM89B pseudogene, ENSG00000262408) is a pseudogene in the human genome. Pseudogenes are non-functional sequences that are similar to known protein-coding genes but generally do not produce functional proteins due to disabling mutations such as frameshifts or premature stop codons[3][1][7]. ENSG00000262408 encodes a pseudogene, not an active protein-coding gene, nor a validated molecular target in pharmacology or biology[1][3][7]. FAM89B pseudogene is not considered a drug target, receptor, enzyme, or transporter, and has no known therapeutic relevance. While some pseudogenes can exert regulatory functions—such as influencing gene expression through RNA interference mechanisms—there is no specific evidence indicating such a role for this pseudogene. Pseudogenes like this may occasionally have subtle regulatory impacts but are not direct targets for therapeutics and are generally considered “non-functional”[7]. This entry is considered incorrect as a therapeutic target because it does not encode a functional receptor, enzyme, or transporter.
