PDZ and LIM domain 7 pseudogene

Molecular classification
Other (pseudogene; not protein-coding)
01

Overview

PDZ and LIM domain 7 pseudogene (ENSG00000253907) is a non-protein-coding sequence highly similar to the PDZ and LIM domain 7 gene (PDLIM7). Pseudogenes may arise through duplication or retrotransposition and are generally considered non-functional relics, though some have identified roles as RNA-based regulators in human disease (e.g., as competitive endogenous RNAs that interfere with microRNA regulation of their protein-coding counterpart)[5]. There is no clear evidence that this pseudogene, specifically, has established functional roles, therapeutic importance, or is used as a target in drug development. The canonical PDLIM7 gene encodes for an adapter/scaffolding protein involved in actin filament organization and cellular signaling, but its pseudogene version in question does not encode a functional protein, and its biological relevance is currently unclear[1][3][4][5].
