Phosphoglycerate mutase 1 pseudogene 9 (PGAM1P9)

Phosphoglycerate mutase 1 pseudogene 9 (PGAM1P9) is a human pseudogene, meaning it is a genomic DNA sequence similar to the functional Phosphoglycerate mutase 1 gene but does not encode an active protein product and is not known to have a biological function. It is annotated as a pseudogene in human genomic databases and does not directly participate in metabolic or signaling pathways. PGAM1P9's annotation as a pseudogene clearly distinguishes it from the protein-coding PGAM1, which is a glycolytic enzyme and has established biological and therapeutic relevance. No evidence exists suggesting PGAM1P9 serves as a therapeutic target, encodes a functional protein, or is involved in disease processes. Pseudogenes can sometimes influence gene regulation, but there is currently no evidence or reports indicating any such function for PGAM1P9. External database identifiers for PGAM1P9 include HGNC: 42456, NCBI Gene: 100420681, Ensembl: ENSG00000249255.
