Implantation-associated protein pseudogene

Implantation-associated protein pseudogene (ENSG00000232862, also known as LOC100128093 or DKFZp564K142 pseudogene) is classified as a pseudogene located on chromosome 1[1][2]. Pseudogenes are nonfunctional segments of DNA with high sequence similarity to known functional genes but do not encode active proteins due to disabling mutations or processing errors[7]. They are generally not considered therapeutic targets because they lack protein-coding potential and do not directly mediate biological or pharmacological functions[2][7]. However, pseudogenes can sometimes act in gene regulation or serve as disease biomarkers by influencing gene expression at the RNA level, but no specific function or disease association is reported for this particular pseudogene[2][4]. This entry should not be considered a therapeutic target, and it is classified as “incorrect” in the context of drug discovery or target nomination because it is a pseudogene, not an active protein or receptor[2][4].
