Pseudogene similar to part of septin 14

ENSG00000237094, also known as "Pseudogene similar to part of septin 14" (alias AL732372.2), is classified as a pseudogene, meaning it is a non-functional genomic segment that resembles the protein-coding gene SEPT14 but does not produce a functional protein[3][1]. Pseudogenes generally arise through duplication or retrotransposition events and usually contain defects (e.g., frameshifts, premature stop codons) that prevent them from encoding a protein[4][5]. While some pseudogenes can have regulatory functions at the RNA level—such as acting as competitive endogenous RNAs (ceRNAs) or "microRNA sponges"—there is no evidence or annotation indicating that this specific pseudogene is transcribed, functional, or involved in disease mechanisms[2][3][4][5]. It is not considered a therapeutic target.
