RAN pseudogene 1 (RANP1)

RAN pseudogene 1 (RANP1; Em:AB014080.2) is a pseudogene related to the RAN binding protein 1 (RANBP1) gene. Pseudogenes are non-coding genomic sequences that resemble functional genes but lack the ability to encode proteins due to disabling mutations. Some pseudogenes may exert biological effects through RNA-mediated mechanisms such as acting as microRNA sponges, but there is no specific evidence that RAN pseudogene 1 has established biological or therapeutic significance. This molecule is not considered a drug target, enzyme, receptor, transporter, or other functional protein. The entry may be considered incorrect or irrelevant from a drug target perspective, as it designates a non-functional gene copy rather than a protein-coding target.
