FUN14 domain containing 1 pseudogene

FUN14 domain containing 1 pseudogene (ENSG00000255342) is a genomic sequence homologous to the protein-coding FUN14 domain containing 1 gene (FUNDC1), but it is annotated as a pseudogene and is not believed to encode a functional protein product[2][5]. Pseudogenes are generally regarded as nonfunctional gene relics arising from gene duplication or retrotransposition events, lacking the ability to produce functional proteins due to mutations such as frameshifts or premature stop codons[2][5]. While some pseudogenes may retain regulatory RNA roles, no such function is documented for this specific pseudogene, nor is it considered a therapeutic target in biomedical research[2][5][8]. If you require structured data on the protein-coding gene related to this pseudogene (such as FUNDC1 or FUNDC2), a separate search for those gene products would be necessary[4][7].
