Fructosamine 3 kinase pseudogene

"Fructosamine 3 kinase pseudogene" refers to a genomic locus closely related in sequence to the protein-coding gene *FN3K* but does not produce a functional enzyme. Pseudogenes are nonfunctional sequences, often arising from duplication or retrotransposition, and typically lack transcription or protein production. In humans, the functional enzyme, **fructosamine 3 kinase (FN3K)**, catalyzes the phosphorylation of fructosamines generated by glycation and plays a role in intracellular protein repair, especially in metabolic regulation and diabetes pathogenesis[1][6][5]. The pseudogene form, ENSG00000283583, does not participate in these biological activities and is not considered a molecular target in biomedical research.
