Renin binding protein pseudogene

The Renin binding protein pseudogene (ENSG00000232249) is a genomic DNA sequence identified on the human genome that shares sequence similarity with the functional renin binding protein gene but does not produce a functional protein[4]. Pseudogenes such as this often arise from gene duplication or retrotransposition but accumulate mutations and lack essential regulatory elements, rendering them incapable of normal protein expression[2][3]. They are generally considered "junk DNA" and do not play roles in drug response, disease, or cellular function. Occasionally, some pseudogenes may have minor regulatory functions via RNA products, but this is not established for ENSG00000232249[2][4].
