POM121 transmembrane nucleoporin like 13, pseudogene (POM121L13P)

POM121 transmembrane nucleoporin like 13, pseudogene (POM121L13P) is a human gene annotated as a pseudogene, meaning it is a non-functional copy that resembles the POM121 gene but does not encode a functional protein due to disrupting mutations or loss of coding potential[1][4][6]. Like other pseudogenes, it may have regulatory functions at the transcriptional or epigenetic level, potentially impacting the expression of related genes, but it is not considered a druggable therapeutic target nor a classical receptor, enzyme, transporter, or other molecular target family member[2]. The only disease association currently listed is with gastric cardia adenocarcinoma, but this is likely based on the gene locus rather than direct functional involvement[4]. Key points: - POM121L13P is not a functional protein or receptor[1][6]. - It is classified as a pseudogene and is not a therapeutic target[1][2][4][6]. - It does not have known protein interactions, mechanisms of drug action, biomarker applications, or recognized safety concerns related to therapeutics.
