Pseudogene similar to UTP6, small subunit processome component, homolog (ENSG00000244167)

ENSG00000244167 corresponds to a pseudogene with sequence similarity to UTP6, small subunit processome component, homolog. Pseudogenes are non-functional segments of DNA that resemble functional genes but do not encode active protein products. There is no evidence that this specific pseudogene produces a protein or plays a biological or disease-related role, nor is it a recognized drug or therapeutic target. Information available for UTP6 (the protein-coding gene) is not directly transferable to this pseudogene. Summary of status: - This entry is not a functional gene or protein and is not tracked as a therapeutic target. - If you are seeking information on a potential drug target, refer instead to the protein-coding gene UTP6, small subunit processome component, homolog (UTP6, HCA66). - There is nothing to indicate the pseudogene has relevance for drug targeting, disease association, or biomarker status. Note: UTP6 (the functional gene, not the pseudogene) plays essential roles in ribosome biogenesis, cell cycle, and apoptosis, and may influence chemoradiotherapy sensitivity in cancers. These functions are not attributed to the pseudogene ENSG00000244167.

None known for this pseudogene.
