guanine nucleotide binding protein, gamma 5 pseudogene (null)

The **guanine nucleotide binding protein, gamma 5 pseudogene** (ENSG00000253216) is a non-functional genetic sequence similar to the functional GNG5 gene but does not encode a functional protein product[7]. The functional version, **G protein subunit gamma 5 (GNG5)**, is a part of the heterotrimeric G proteins involved in receptor-mediated transmembrane signaling, but the pseudogene itself plays no active role in this process[7][3][5]. If structured or functional information about a druggable target is needed, refer to the **GNG5 gene** ([ENSG00000174021](https://www.genecards.org/cgi-bin/carddisp.pl?gene=GNG5)), not the pseudogene[3][5][7].
