heat shock protein 90kDa alpha (cytosolic) class B member 1 pseudogene

ENSG00000217334 encodes a pseudogene that is similar to part of the heat shock protein 90kDa alpha (cytosolic) class B member 1 (HSPCB/HSP90AB1)[1]. Pseudogenes are DNA sequences similar to normal genes but are non-functional due to mutations or the lack of regulatory elements required for expression. As such, this pseudogene does not produce a functional protein product and is not considered a receptor, enzyme, or therapeutic target[1]. It has several alternative names, including “heat shock protein 90kDa alpha (cytosolic) class B member 1 pseudogene,” and its Entrez description classifies it specifically as a pseudogene, not as a protein-coding gene. There is currently no evidence implicating this pseudogene in disease, drug action, or biomarker development[1]. If any specific functionality, interaction, or disease role is discovered for this entry in the future, the entry should be revisited. Current records are consistent across major databases and nomenclature guidelines[1][2].
