Family with sequence similarity 90 member A8 (FAM90A8)

Family with sequence similarity 90 member A8 (FAM90A8) is a gene mapped to the primate-specific FAM90A family, identified through gene duplication events[1]. It is annotated primarily as a pseudogene and occasionally as a "putative protein," indicating that it may not produce a functional protein product in humans[1][5][6]. There are no documented biological roles, disease associations, or drug interactions, and it lacks molecular features of classical therapeutic targets such as receptors, enzymes, or ion channels[1][5]. In summary, FAM90A8 is best characterized as a primate-specific pseudogene without demonstrated biological function or relevance as a therapeutic target[1][5][6].
