Pregnancy specific beta-1-glycoprotein 10, pseudogene (PSG10P)

Pregnancy specific beta-1-glycoprotein 10, pseudogene (PSG10P) is a non-coding pseudogene member of the pregnancy-specific glycoprotein gene family within the carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) superfamily, located on human chromosome 19. Several PSG family members, including PSG10P, have arisen via gene duplication events, with many becoming functionally inactive pseudogenes containing premature stop codons or frame shifts[1][2]. The functional PSGs (like PSG1, PSG9, PSG12) are secreted glycoproteins produced by placental syncytiotrophoblasts, functioning mainly in immunomodulation during pregnancy[3][4]. However, PSG10P itself does not encode a protein and is not known to have biological or disease-related functions. Key clarification: - The term “pregnancy specific beta-1-glycoprotein 10, pseudogene” is valid as a gene symbol/entity, but *not* as a valid therapeutic target. - If your use case requires protein-coding/therapeutically actionable targets, **PSG10P is not suitable, and this entry should be flagged as incorrect for that application**. Note: This entry should be clearly differentiated from protein-coding PSG family members (such as pregnancy specific beta-1-glycoprotein 1 or PSG1) which have well-established biological and clinical roles[3][4].
