Non-metastatic cells 2, protein expressed (pseudogene) (Null)

This gene (ENSG00000233933) corresponds to a pseudogene related to the non-metastatic cells 2, protein (a nucleoside diphosphate kinase) family. Pseudogenes are genetically similar to protein-coding genes but are rendered nonfunctional by disabling mutations and are not translated into proteins[3][4]. Recent research shows some pseudogenes are transcribed and can regulate other genes via RNA-based mechanisms, but the vast majority—including this one—have no well-defined biological or therapeutic role and are not regarded as valid drug targets. The use of "protein expressed in pseudogene" is non-standard; typically, the parent gene should be specified for clarity[1][4]. Key Context: - Pseudogenes are "molecular corpses"—segments of DNA resembling protein-coding genes but lacking coding potential due to disabling mutations[3]. - Rarely, some pseudogenes are transcribed and give rise to regulatory non-coding RNAs, but these are exceptions[1][4]. - Although studied for potential regulatory or biomarker roles, especially in cancer, ENSEMBL gene ENSG00000233933 and its described function as "non-metastatic cells 2, protein expressed in pseudogene" do not meet criteria as a drug target, receptor, or biomarker in clinical or research use[1][4]. Note: If you need structured information about active protein-coding targets, a different gene or protein should be specified. This entry is likely incorrect for therapeutic targeting purposes.
