RNA binding motif protein 4 pseudogene

RNA binding motif protein 4 pseudogene (ENSG00000254061) is a genomic region in humans that resembles the functional RNA Binding Motif Protein 4 gene but is classified as a pseudogene. Pseudogenes are typically non-functional copies of genes, often unable to encode active proteins due to mutations, deletions, or disruptive insertions[1][11][5]. This pseudogene does not play a recognized direct role in cellular biology or disease, and it is not considered a therapeutic target or biomarker. Unlike its functional paralog RBM4, which mediates alternative splicing and RNA regulation, ENSG00000254061 has no documented protein, biochemical, or disease associations, nor any drug interactions[5][10][8]. While some pseudogenes can influence gene regulation or be involved in evolutionary adaptation, there is no evidence that ENSG00000254061 serves any such function[1][3]. In summary, ENSG00000254061 should not be considered a therapeutic target or a functional gene; moreover, its inclusion as a drug target or actionable biomarker would be inaccurate.
