Pseudogene similar to part of short coiled-coil protein

This target is a pseudogene; it shares sequence similarity with the gene encoding Short Coiled-Coil Protein (SCOC) but has lost its protein-coding ability through mutation or deletion. While pseudogenes may sometimes modulate regulation of their functional paralogs through RNA-mediated or genetic interaction, there are no documented direct biological or clinical functions for this specific entity. Most pseudogenes, including ENSG00000236713, are considered non-functional genomic relics, though research across various pseudogenes shows some can influence cellular processes through miRNA decoy activity, antisense transcript production, or DNA sequence exchange with parental genes in rare cases. In summary, ENSG00000236713 is not a protein, receptor, enzyme, or drug target; it is a sequence annotation reflecting genomic similarity to a functional gene, with no known direct role in drug targeting or human disease.
