lin-28 homolog B pseudogene

This entry refers to a pseudogene, ENSG00000250114, related to the LIN28B gene. Pseudogenes are DNA sequences similar to known genes but are generally non-functional and do not encode active proteins. Therefore, this pseudogene itself is not a therapeutic target, has no known functional protein product, and does not participate in biological processes or disease mechanisms. The functional, protein-coding lin-28 homolog B (LIN28B) gene (ENSG00000187772) is a protein-coding RNA-binding protein that regulates microRNA processing (notably the let-7 family), cell growth, and development, and is associated with multiple cancers. This pseudogene does not share those biological activities or disease associations. For information on the active protein-coding LIN28B gene, refer to ENSG00000187772.
