Inositol polyphosphate-1-phosphatase pseudogene

The inositol polyphosphate-1-phosphatase pseudogene (ENSG00000257384) is a nonfunctional DNA sequence that resembles the functional gene INPP1. Pseudogenes typically arise by gene duplication or retrotransposition and accumulate mutations that prevent them from producing a functional protein. As such, pseudogenes do not encode active enzymes or proteins and usually do not participate in normal biological pathways or disease mechanisms. This pseudogene is not considered a therapeutic target since it does not code for an active receptor, enzyme, or other druggable protein. There are no known biological functions, drug interactions, disease associations, or known safety concerns related specifically to this pseudogene.
