Pseudogene similar to part of Cdon homolog

This gene, ENSG00000236750, encodes a **pseudogene** that is similar in DNA sequence to a part of the Cdon homolog (as found in the mouse Cdon gene), but it is not a protein-coding gene and does not produce a functional protein product[1][5]. Pseudogenes are typically **nonfunctional genomic elements** that resemble genes but have lost their protein-coding capability due to accumulated mutations or disruptive changes, and they often serve no active biological role[3]. Some pseudogenes elsewhere in the genome can play regulatory roles at the RNA level, but for this specific pseudogene, there is no evidence or suggestion of such a function[1][6][3]. In summary, ENSG00000236750 is a nonfunctional **pseudogene** with no established role as a therapeutic target, no described protein product, and no relevance in disease or pharmacology[1][3][5].
