Pseudogene similar to Mus musculus upregulated during skeletal muscle growth 5 (USMG5 (for the functional gene; this entry is a pseudogene))

This entry (ENSG00000218499) encodes a pseudogene with similarity to the Mus musculus (mouse) gene USMG5, which is "upregulated during skeletal muscle growth 5" but is annotated as a non-functional gene in humans. Pseudogenes are genomic DNA sequences similar to normal genes but typically nonfunctional; they do not code for functional proteins and are not considered drug targets. There is no established molecular function, disease association, or therapeutic targeting information for this pseudogene in current biomedical resources[2][3].\n\nThis gene is not a receptor, enzyme, transporter, or factor relevant to drug discovery, and its annotation as a pseudogene means it is not a therapeutic target.\nIf you intended to refer to the functional USMG5 gene (also known as ATP5MK in humans), which is involved in mitochondrial ATP synthase assembly and function, then you should refer to its canonical human protein-coding gene instead[2][3].\nThus, ENSG00000218499 is not a therapeutically actionable or functionally relevant target.
