Pseudogene similar to part of WEE1 homolog (LOC100288172)

ENSG00000250892 ("pseudogene similar to part of WEE1 homolog"; LOC100288172) is classified as a pseudogene in the human genome[6]. Pseudogenes are DNA sequences highly similar to functional genes but are typically non-functional due to mutations such as premature stop codons or missing regulatory elements[7]. This pseudogene shares significant sequence homology with the WEE1 gene, which encodes a protein kinase involved in cell cycle control[1][6], but ENSG00000250892 itself does not produce a functional protein. As such, it is not a therapeutic target nor associated with disease or drug interactions[6][7]. If you need information on the functional WEE1 kinase (a true drug target), search for the "WEE1 G2 checkpoint kinase" (WEE1; ENSG00000166483)[1][5].
