ILRUN pseudogene 1 (ILRUNP1)

ILRUN pseudogene 1 (ILRUNP1) is a **pseudogene**—a non-coding genomic sequence with high homology to the functional ILRUN gene but lacking protein-coding capacity[4]. Pseudogenes do not typically produce functional proteins and are not considered molecular drug targets. By contrast, the related ILRUN protein-coding gene (previously known as C6orf106) encodes a conserved protein involved in negative regulation of type I interferon and TNF-α transcription, immune response, and lipid metabolism, and is linked to several disease processes including obesity, cardiovascular disease, infection, and cancer[1][2][3][5]. However, the pseudogene ILRUNP1 itself does not have evidence of therapeutic or molecular target relevance. If you are seeking information about a druggable target or biomarker, focus on **ILRUN (Inflammation and lipid regulator with UBA-like and NBR1-like domains, also C6orf106)**, not ILRUNP1.
