Histamine receptor H3 pseudogene

The "histamine receptor H3 pseudogene" (ENSG00000260909) is a pseudogene, meaning it is a non-functional copy or fragment of the HRH3 gene. Pseudogenes are stretches of DNA that resemble genes but typically do not encode functional proteins. This pseudogene does not act as a receptor, is not involved in any known physiological functions or disease mechanisms, and is not considered a therapeutic target[3][7]. For information on the functional histamine H3 receptor, the correct entity would be the HRH3 gene (ENSG00000101180), which is a G protein-coupled receptor involved in neurotransmitter release regulation in the central and peripheral nervous systems[2][3][4][6]. Drugs and mechanisms described for histamine H3 receptor do not apply to its pseudogene.
