Novel pseudogene similar to avian transmembrane protein 180 (ENSG00000285287)

ENSG00000285287 is a **pseudogene** classified as "Novel pseudogene similar to avian transmembrane protein 180." Pseudogenes are genomic DNA sequences similar to protein-coding genes but contain disabling mutations such as frameshifts or premature stop codons that prevent translation into a functional protein. The majority of pseudogenes accumulate mutations and do not have an active biological function. However, a small minority in some contexts may have regulatory roles as noncoding RNAs, such as acting as microRNA decoys or generating regulatory siRNAs, though there is no evidence of such a function for this specific pseudogene[1][3][4]. It is not considered a conventional therapeutic target, and drugs do not target it.
