IGF-like family member 4 pseudogene

IGF-like family member 4 pseudogene is a non-protein-coding member of the insulin-like growth factor-like (IGFL) gene family, clustered on chromosome 19 alongside protein-coding IGFL genes and other pseudogenes. Like other processed pseudogenes, it arises from retrotransposition, lacks regulatory elements, and is generally considered non-functional, although pseudogenes can serve as regulatory RNA molecules, such as microRNA competitors, in some cases. There is no evidence that IGFL4 pseudogene is a receptor, enzyme, transporter, or therapeutic target in human disease. No structured information supports its use as a biomarker, drug target, or that it interacts with any clinical drugs. IGF-like family member 4 pseudogene (ENSG00000277748) is not a genuine therapeutic target; it is a human pseudogene with no evidence of protein expression or pharmacological relevance. Its canonical name is "IGF-like family member 4 pseudogene." It should not appear in drug target lists, and selecting it as a target would be incorrect.
