Pseudogene similar to part of solute carrier family 5 member 6

ENSG00000236099 is a pseudogene that exhibits sequence similarity to part of the protein-coding gene for solute carrier family 5, member 6 (SLC5A6), which is the sodium-dependent multivitamin transporter (SMVT)[3][5]. As a pseudogene, ENSG00000236099 does not encode a functional protein product itself and is considered nonfunctional at the protein level[2][6]. Pseudogenes are typically genomic DNA sequences that arise from duplication or retrotransposition of functional genes, but accumulate disabling mutations over time which prevent protein expression or function[2][4][6]. Some pseudogenes have been implicated in gene regulation at the RNA level (e.g., as competing endogenous RNAs or microRNA sponges), but there is no established evidence that ENSG00000236099 plays such a role, and most pseudogenes do not have known biological functions[4][6]. This locus is not considered a therapeutic target (such as a receptor, transporter, enzyme, or transcription factor)[2][3]. No drug interactions, roles in disease, mechanisms of action, or biomarker utilities are documented for this pseudogene. If you need information on the parent gene SLC5A6 (sodium-dependent multivitamin transporter, SMVT), which is a functional transporter involved in vitamin uptake and a validated disease gene, please specify, as these properties do not apply to the pseudogene[1].
