Fatty acid binding protein 5 pseudogene 5 (FABP5P5)

Fatty acid binding protein 5 pseudogene 5 (FABP5P5), also known as FABP5L5 or fatty acid binding protein 5-like 5, is annotated as a pseudogene in genomic databases and scientific nomenclature. Pseudogenes are non-functional genomic DNA sequences that resemble normal genes but typically lack the capacity to encode a functional protein due to mutations, truncations, or lack of regulatory elements. FABP5P5 is related by sequence to the functional fatty acid binding protein 5 (FABP5) gene, but it does not produce a functional protein product and has no established role as a therapeutic target, biomarker, or drug interaction partner. There is no evidence that it is functionally involved in metabolism, signaling, or disease processes. The entry is often reported due to sequence similarity with FABP5, but should not be mistaken for the active protein-coding gene or its biological roles[1][2].
