Nuclear pore complex interacting protein family member B14, pseudogene (NPIPB14P)

NPIPB14P (Nuclear pore complex interacting protein family member B14, pseudogene) is annotated as a pseudogene in the human genome. Pseudogenes are genomic DNA sequences similar to normal genes but are non-functional; they usually arise from gene duplication or retrotransposition events. As a pseudogene, NPIPB14P is not known to produce a functional protein product or to serve as an active molecular target for therapeutic intervention. There are no known biological functions, disease associations, interacting drugs, or mechanisms of action for NPIPB14P[5]. This entity is not considered a therapeutic target, receptor, or biologically active molecule. It is not equivalent or directly related to the nuclear pore complex or nucleoporins, which do constitute biologically significant complexes and targets[1][2][3]. The naming suggests historical or sequence similarity to nuclear pore complex proteins, but as a pseudogene, NPIPB14P does not perform these functions.
