Pseudogene similar to part of hormonally upregulated Neu-associated kinase HUNK

ENSG00000220291 represents a **pseudogene**, which means it is a genomic region highly similar in sequence to the Hormonally upregulated Neu-associated kinase (HUNK) gene but is nonfunctional; it does not produce a functional protein product and has no known biological activity, therapeutic relevance, or drug interactions[2][3][1]. Pseudogenes accumulate sequence changes over time and are not under selective pressure, making them generally irrelevant for targeted therapy or biomarker use[3]. This entry should not be treated as a valid therapeutic target, receptor, enzyme, or functional protein. If you want information about the actual, functional HUNK protein, refer to Hormonally up-regulated Neu tumor-associated kinase (abbreviation: HUNK)[4][5][7].
