Hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase 6 pseudogene

Molecular classification: Other (pseudogene)

Overview

Hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase 6 pseudogene (LOC390332, ENSG00000278399) is a genomic sequence similar in structure to the protein-coding HSD17B6 gene but does not encode a functional protein. It lacks the ability to catalyze steroid hormone conversions or be involved in canonical steroid metabolism. As a pseudogene, it is not considered a valid molecular drug target, does not participate in biological functions or disease mechanisms, and has no associated drugs, mechanisms, or biomarkers. When referencing therapeutic targets or molecular functions in steroid metabolism, the canonical entity is "Hydroxysteroid 17-beta dehydrogenase 6" (HSD17B6), not the pseudogene[3][4][8].
