GUSB pseudogene 4 (GUSBP4)

GUSB pseudogene 4 (GUSBP4) is a processed pseudogene located in the human genome. It shares sequence homology with the functional GUSB gene, which codes for beta-glucuronidase, an enzyme important for the degradation of glycosaminoglycans. GUSBP4 does not encode an active protein and is not implicated in direct enzymatic or receptor activity, nor is it recognized as a therapeutic drug target. Unlike some transcribed pseudogenes, there is no published evidence that GUSBP4 has a functional regulatory or disease-modifying role, although the functional GUSB gene is of clinical importance in the context of lysosomal storage disorders[5].
