Novel guanylate binding protein pseudogene

This entry is a **pseudogene related to the guanylate binding protein family**, annotated as "novel guanylate binding protein pseudogene" and identified by Ensembl as ENSG00000289712. Pseudogenes are typically non-functional gene copies that have lost their protein-coding ability due to mutations.[7] Some pseudogenes are transcribed and can regulate gene expression through RNA-based mechanisms such as acting as microRNA sponges or producing small interfering RNAs, thereby modulating the activity of their parent or related genes.[3][5] However, the majority do not produce functional proteins, and most are not directly implicated in drug action or disease processes. This particular pseudogene has no established therapeutic or biomarker role and is not considered a canonical therapeutic target.
