Pseudogene similar to SON DNA and RNA binding protein

This entity is a **pseudogene with sequence similarity to a portion of the SON DNA and RNA binding protein gene (SON)**. Pseudogenes are non-functional segments of DNA that resemble known genes but do not encode a functional protein product. This pseudogene does not participate in encoding protein, regulating cell processes, or responding to pharmacological agents. Its functional counterpart, the SON gene, is vital for pre-mRNA splicing, cell cycle regulation, and is implicated in some developmental disorders. The pseudogene itself has no confirmed biological or therapeutic relevance[4][6]. Key Notes: - ENSG00000231700 should **not** be mistaken for the functional SON gene (ENSG00000159140)[3][4]. - If the intent was to target a receptor, enzyme, or protein for therapeutic intervention, this pseudogene is *not appropriate*. - All references to functional activity, diseases, or druggability should apply to the functional **SON gene**, not this pseudogene[1][2][4][6]. If you need structured data on the functional SON gene, provide the correct Ensembl ID (ENSG00000159140). The current entry (ENSG00000231700) is a **non-functional pseudogene**.
