PEF protein with a long N-terminal hydrophobic domain pseudogene

This gene, ENSG00000236779, is classified as a pseudogene—specifically, a non-functional segment of DNA similar to the gene encoding peflin (a member of the PEF protein family), which contains a long N-terminal hydrophobic domain. Unlike functional genes, this pseudogene does not produce a protein product and is not involved in typical biological pathways associated with enzymes, receptors, or transporters. While some pseudogenes have regulatory roles at the RNA level, there is no evidence of such function for this entry. It is neither considered a therapeutic target nor implicated in human disease[4][1][9][7].
