Leucine rich repeat containing 37B pseudogene 1 (LRRC37BP1)

Leucine rich repeat containing 37B pseudogene 1 (LRRC37BP1) is a human pseudogene, meaning it is a non-functional genomic DNA sequence similar to a functional gene but lacking the ability to encode a protein product[1][3]. Pseudogenes in general arise through gene duplication or retrotransposition events, and although traditionally considered "junk" DNA, some can have regulatory functions at the RNA level in specific contexts (e.g., competing endogenous RNAs)[1]. However, there is no evidence that LRRC37BP1 produces a functional RNA or protein or participates in disease, therapeutic mechanisms, or human biology in a defined way. It is not recognized as a therapeutic target, drug target, or reliable biomarker for disease. If you are seeking protein-coding or receptor targets, LRRC37BP1 would not be included. It is recommended to confirm the locus or gene of interest, as pseudogenes are typically excluded from drug discovery, antibody target, and functional genomics screens[1][3].
