microtubule-actin crosslinking factor 1 pseudogene

microtubule-actin crosslinking factor 1 pseudogene is a nonfunctional, non-protein coding genomic element related in sequence to the microtubule-actin crosslinking factor 1 (MACF1) gene. Pseudogenes are genomic sequences similar to known genes but generally lack the capacity to produce functional protein due to mutations or disruptions. Therefore, this pseudogene does not have canonical molecular functions, disease roles, or interactions characteristic of therapeutic targets. For information about the active MACF1 protein (not the pseudogene), see entries for microtubule-actin crosslinking factor 1 (MACF1), a large cytoskeletal linker protein involved in actin and microtubule dynamics, cell migration, and various human disease processes[3][6][2][5].
