Riboflavin kinase pseudogene
- Molecular classification
- Other (Pseudogene)
01
Overview
Riboflavin kinase pseudogene (ENSG00000228953) is a nonfunctional genomic DNA sequence that is highly similar to the protein-coding riboflavin kinase (RFK) gene but lacks the capacity to encode a functional protein due to disabling mutations or truncations. Pseudogenes like this arise from gene duplication or retrotransposition events and often accumulate mutations over time, rendering them biologically inactive. These elements are prevalent in the human genome and are generally recognized as noncoding "genomic fossils," though in rare cases some may play a regulatory role.

- Riboflavin kinase pseudogeneRFK pseudogene
02
Mechanism of action
None (as there is no functional protein product)
03
Biological functions
None (no known biological function as it is a pseudogene)
04
Disease associations
None directly; no established disease association
05
Safety considerations
None (pseudogenes are generally inert, though in rare cases they may be transcribed or affect gene regulation)
06
Interacting drugs
None (not druggable due to non-functionality)
07
Biomarkers
None
