Pseudogene similar to part of protein phosphatase 6, catalytic subunit

ENSG00000237319 is a pseudogene that bears sequence similarity to the protein phosphatase 6 catalytic subunit gene (PPP6C), but it does not encode a functional protein or have known biological activity[1]. Pseudogenes are typically defunct relatives of functional genes and do not produce functional proteins. PPP6C is the functional gene encoding the catalytic subunit of protein phosphatase 6, which has roles in cell cycle regulation, immune response, and cancer, but ENSG00000237319 has no such characteristics[2][3][5]. The relevant pseudogene resides on the X chromosome, while the protein-coding gene PPP6C is located on chromosome 9[1][2][3]. In summary, ENSG00000237319 is not a drug target but rather a non-functional genomic sequence, so all drug-target fields and functional annotations do not apply.
