Leucine rich repeat protein 1 pseudogene

Leucine rich repeat protein 1 pseudogene, with Ensembl ID ENSG00000277056, is identified as a human pseudogene. Pseudogenes are segments of DNA that resemble genes but are generally nonfunctional; they do not encode functional proteins and are not considered authentic molecular targets for drugs or therapeutics. Due to their noncoding, nonfunctional status, there are no known associated biological functions, disease roles, interacting drugs, or safety concerns. This entry is likely included due to automated gene annotation pipelines. There is no evidence that this pseudogene has any clinical or pharmacological significance, and it should not be confused with bona fide targets like "Leucine-rich repeat protein 1" (LRR1, ENSG00000165501), which encodes a functional protein[4].
