Family with sequence similarity 91 member A1 pseudogene (FAM91A1 pseudogene)

Family with sequence similarity 91 member A1 pseudogene (FAM91A1 pseudogene) is a non-coding segment of DNA classified as a pseudogene. Pseudogenes are regions of the genome that closely resemble protein-coding genes but have lost their coding potential due to accumulated mutations, deletions, or insertions; as such, they do not produce functional proteins[1][7]. This gene does not have known physiological roles, is not considered a druggable or therapeutic target, and has no direct association with disease processes or established pharmacology[1][7][8]. Some pseudogenes elsewhere in the genome can act in regulatory networks (such as producing RNA transcripts that affect gene expression), but there is no evidence that ENSG00000225871 possesses such function at this time.
