Novel ion transport protein domain-containing pseudogene

Novel ion transport protein domain-containing pseudogene (ENSG00000261760) is categorized as a human pseudogene, annotated based on sequence similarity to genes encoding ion transport protein domains. Pseudogenes arise from the duplication or retrotransposition of functional genes followed by the accumulation of disabling mutations that prevent the production of a functional protein. Although some pseudogenes can have regulatory or other limited roles in gene expression, this gene is not known to function as a protein, enzyme, receptor, channel, or transporter, nor is it a recognized target for any existing pharmaceuticals. It does not have any aliases, known biological function in human cellular processes, nor associations with disease or drug mechanism.
