Novel Sp100-like protein pseudogene

Novel Sp100-like protein pseudogene (ENSG00000283202) is classified as a pseudogene, identified by loss of protein-coding potential due to disabling mutations. While the parental SP100 gene encodes a nuclear antigen involved in immune response, transcriptional regulation, and chromatin dynamics, the pseudogene lacks protein function and is not considered a drug target. Pseudogenes can exert regulatory functions at the RNA level, but there is currently no evidence of any established function, aliases, disease association, drug interactions, or therapeutic relevance for this particular pseudogene. The presence of the "like" designation indicates sequence similarity to SP100 but without a known biological or pharmacological role.
