Pseudogene similar to phosphoserine phosphatase (ENSG00000204894)

Pseudogene similar to phosphoserine phosphatase (ENSG00000204894) is a genomic locus that shares sequence similarity with the functional enzyme phosphoserine phosphatase but contains mutations that prevent it from producing an active protein. Pseudogenes were traditionally considered "junk DNA" but are now recognized for possible roles in regulating their parental gene's expression via competitive or antisense RNA transcripts, miRNA interactions, or other epigenetic mechanisms. The majority of pseudogenes, including this example, are not considered direct therapeutic targets but may have subtle impacts on gene regulation and disease processes through their nucleic acid transcripts[1][4].
