Hippocampus abundant transcript 1 pseudogene

Hippocampus abundant transcript 1 pseudogene (ENSG00000254590) is a pseudogene, meaning it is a genomic sequence similar to a functional gene but does not encode a functional protein due to disruptive mutations such as premature stop codons or frameshifts[1][6][7]. Pseudogenes are typically remnants of once-functional genes, and may not produce any functional RNA or protein products; however, some pseudogenes in general can have regulatory functions as non-coding RNAs, including roles as decoys for microRNAs or as sources of small interfering RNA, affecting gene expression. For this specific pseudogene, no evidence supports a protein-coding function, a specific regulatory role, therapeutic targeting, or disease association[1][6]. It is not a therapeutic target or receptor, and its inclusion in target lists is likely due to a misunderstanding or database filtering artifact. Key points: - This entry refers to a noncoding pseudogene, not a functional protein, receptor, or druggable target[1][6][7]. - Pseudogenes in general may rarely play regulatory or biomarker roles, but there is no specific evidence for such a function here[3][6]. - It is marked as incorrect for use as a canonical drug target or receptor.
