Family with sequence similarity 90 member A15 (FAM90A15)

Family with sequence similarity 90 member A15 is a primate-specific gene belonging to subfamily II of the FAM90A gene family, which has arisen through gene duplications and rearrangements. While annotated as a protein-coding gene in some databases, the gene has also been listed as a putative pseudogene in others, and its protein product and function are currently uncharacterized. There are no associated biological functions, disease roles, or known drug interactions, and it is not considered a classic drug target, receptor, or enzyme. FAM90A15 is often annotated as a putative protein-coding gene or pseudogene, with no strong evidence supporting a functional protein product or biological role. There is no literature supporting its use as a therapeutic target, biomarker, or its involvement in any particular biological pathway or disease. Common gene listing resources (such as GeneCards and the Human Protein Atlas) provide no functional characterization, clinical associations, or druggability indications for FAM90A15. Its annotation as both a protein and pseudogene, coupled with the absence of any experimentally defined function, means there is missing and/or ambiguous information, making its target status problematic.
