N-acetylated alpha-linked acidic dipeptidase-like 1 pseudogene

"N-acetylated alpha-linked acidic dipeptidase-like 1 pseudogene" (ENSG00000254655) is annotated in the genome as a pseudogene related to the enzyme NAALADL1. Pseudogenes lack the ability to produce functional protein and are generally not considered therapeutic targets. NAALADL1 itself is a protein-coding gene that encodes an aminopeptidase with broad substrate specificity, primarily involved in peptide catabolic processes. It is not a well-established drug target, nor is it commonly implicated in major disease mechanisms or therapeutic contexts. The term "N-acetylated alpha-linked acidic dipeptidase-like 1 pseudogene" is not a canonical, scientifically established target. The canonical form for the functional protein is "N-acetylated alpha-linked acidic dipeptidase like 1" (NAALADL1). ENSG00000254655 likely refers to a non-protein-coding locus; for structured knowledge bases, use NAALADL1 (ENSG00000168060) for any functional annotations or pharmacological relevance.
