Selenophosphate synthetase 1 pseudogene (None established (sometimes informally abbreviated as SEPHS1P or SPS1P))

Selenophosphate synthetase 1 pseudogene (ENSG00000249101) is a pseudogene related to the functional selenophosphate synthetase 1 (SEPHS1, also known as SPS1) gene. While SEPHS1 encodes a regulatory protein involved in redox homeostasis and possibly interacts with components of selenocysteine biosynthesis pathways, the pseudogene itself does not encode a functional protein, is not transcribed into a biologically active molecule, and has no known physiological or pathological function. Pseudogenes like ENSG00000249101 are remnants of gene duplications or retrotransposition events, and are typically nonfunctional. Key point: ENSG00000249101 refers to a non-coding pseudogene, not a druggable or functional protein target. If you are looking for information on the functional protein, the appropriate target is "Selenophosphate synthetase 1" (SEPHS1), not its pseudogene.
