phosphoglycerate mutase 1 pseudogene 4 (PGAM1P4)

Phosphoglycerate mutase 1 pseudogene 4 (PGAM1P4) is classified as a pseudogene in the human genome. Pseudogenes are DNA sequences similar to known genes but are generally non-functional due to mutations or deletions that prevent them from producing functional proteins. There are no documented functions, interactions, or associations with disease for PGAM1P4, and it is not considered a therapeutic target or an active gene product in current biomedical literature[2].\n\n**Key Points**:\n- PGAM1P4 is not a protein-coding gene—it is a pseudogene, and unlike the related functional gene PGAM1, it does not encode an active enzyme or participate in glycolysis[2].\n- There is no evidence for biological activity, disease involvement, drug interaction, or utility as a biomarker.\n- It should not be considered a druggable or therapeutic target; any reference to this as a pharmaceutical target would be incorrect.\n- If your intent is to collect structured data for clinical, biochemical, or pharmacological targeting, this entry is *incorrect* as a target (is_incorrect: true) due to its status as a non-functional pseudogene[2].
