Formyl peptide receptor 3 pseudogene

The "formyl peptide receptor 3 pseudogene" (ENSG00000249518), also known as "formyl peptide receptor pseudogene" or "LOC100288484", is a human genomic locus representing a pseudogene related to the formyl peptide receptor family but does not encode a functional protein product. This locus represents a pseudogene of the formyl peptide receptor gene family. Pseudogenes are nonfunctional segments of DNA that resemble functional genes but typically lack protein-coding potential due to disabling mutations or other genomic alterations. The formyl peptide receptor gene family consists of G protein-coupled receptors involved in immune response by recognizing pathogen- and damage-associated molecular patterns, but this specific pseudogene is not transcribed into a functional protein and is not considered a therapeutic target.
