Ninein pseudogene

The ninein pseudogene (ENSG00000223605) is a non-functional genomic sequence similar to the protein-coding ninein gene. Pseudogenes like this are typically not transcribed or translated into functional protein, do not encode cellular activity, and are not recognized as therapeutic targets. There is no evidence linking this pseudogene with any biological functions, disease associations, or drug interactions[1].\n\nKey clarification: \n- This entry is frequently confused with the **NIN gene**, which codes for the centrosomal protein ninein involved in microtubule anchoring and spindle orientation[2][3]. However, ENSG00000223605 is a **pseudogene** and not the functional gene/protein (NIN)[1]. \n- There is no evidence in current databases or scientific literature to suggest that this pseudogene has therapeutic, biomarker, or disease relevance.\n\nIf information on the **functional ninein protein or gene (NIN, ENSG00000100503)** is needed, specify accordingly, as it has established cellular roles but is distinct from the pseudogene[2][3][8].
