Maestro heat-like repeat-containing protein family member pseudogene

Maestro heat-like repeat-containing protein family member pseudogene (ENSG00000284682) is a genomic DNA sequence in humans that bears strong sequence similarity to the functional “maestro heat-like repeat-containing protein family” genes, but due to genetic mutations, insertions, or deletions, is incapable of producing a functional protein product. Pseudogenes, such as this, are generally regarded as nonfunctional remnants of evolution; they can sometimes be transcribed at low levels or participate in RNA-based regulatory mechanisms, but no such function has been established for this pseudogene. It is not a member of recognized druggable protein classes such as receptors or enzymes and is not considered a therapeutic or diagnostic target.
