Myosin heavy chain 16 pseudogene

Myosin heavy chain 16 pseudogene (ENSG00000293559) is a genomic DNA sequence that closely resembles the functional myosin heavy chain 16 gene but does not encode a functional protein product, owing to mutations or sequence disruptions that have rendered it nonfunctional. Like other pseudogenes, it is considered a remnant of evolutionary processes, and while some pseudogenes can produce noncoding RNAs with potential regulatory roles, there is no evidence that this specific pseudogene has biological or disease relevance, nor is it considered a therapeutic target[1][2][3][5].
