REXO1, RNA exonuclease 1 homolog (S. cerevisiae)-like 8, pseudogene (REXO1L8P)

REXO1, RNA exonuclease 1 homolog (S. cerevisiae)-like 8, pseudogene (REXO1L8P) is a processed genomic locus annotated as a pseudogene based on high similarity to the parent REXO1 gene but contains disabling mutations that prevent functional protein expression[2][3]. Pseudogenes such as REXO1L8P typically result from duplication or retrotransposition events and serve as "molecular fossils" in the genome, evolving neutrally and lacking a clear biological role[3]. While rare cases have demonstrated potential regulatory functions for some pseudogenes, such roles remain the exception and are not supported for REXO1L8P, which is not considered a therapeutic target or biomarker[3]. If you require structured information for a bona fide therapeutic target, a functional gene or protein should be selected, as pseudogenes typically do not meet criteria for molecular targeting in drug discovery or diagnostic applications.
