High mobility group box 1 pseudogene 36 (HMGB1P36)

High mobility group box 1 pseudogene 36 (HMGB1P36) is a member of the HMGB1 pseudogene family, classified as a non-coding segment of DNA that resembles the gene for high mobility group box 1 (HMGB1) but does not encode a functional protein. Pseudogenes may contribute to the regulation of their parent genes or related pathways through non-coding RNA mechanisms, such as acting as molecular sponges for microRNAs or by generating regulatory RNAs, but there are no published data specifically demonstrating such a role for HMGB1P36[2][5]. HMGB1P36 itself is not considered a protein-coding gene, has no established function as a receptor, transcription factor, or enzyme, and is not directly considered a therapeutic target.
