NOL11 pseudogene 1

NOL11 pseudogene 1 denotes a genomic sequence that is highly similar to the NOL11 gene but is considered a non-functional, non-protein-coding pseudogene. Pseudogenes arise by gene duplication or retrotransposition events and often possess disabling mutations that preclude RNA/protein production or function[4][7]. While some pseudogenes are transcribed and can have regulatory roles via their RNA, there is no established evidence that NOL11 pseudogene 1 produces a functional RNA or participates in gene regulation or disease. Its parental gene, NOL11 (Nucleolar protein 11), is a protein-coding gene involved in ribosomal RNA processing and nucleolar function[1]. No evidence exists for NOL11 pseudogene 1 being a receptor, enzyme, transporter, or any established drug target. Key clarification: - NOL11 pseudogene 1 is *not* a receptor, enzyme, or druggable target, and the entry likely reflects a misinterpretation or a non-functional genomic feature, not an established therapeutic asset[4][7]. - If you are seeking data on the functional gene, refer to Nucleolar protein 11 (NOL11)[1]. - Most pseudogenes, including this one, are not drug targets but may have minor regulatory functions or could be transcribed, though these are very rarely clinically actionable.
