Septin 7 pseudogene 9 (SEPTIN7P9)

Septin 7 pseudogene 9 (SEPTIN7P9) is a human pseudogene sequence located on chromosome 10 that shares sequence similarity with the functional septin 7 gene but is not known to encode an active protein product. Pseudogenes are nonfunctional DNA segments that resemble known genes but typically carry mutations or sequence defects rendering them incapable of protein production. SEPTIN7P9 may have arisen by gene duplication or retrotransposition, but has lost protein-coding ability; there are no established roles in cell biology, signaling, or disease, nor is it considered a receptor, enzyme, therapeutic target, or biomarker in clinical practice. If targeted information is needed for therapeutic or translational research applications, this entry should be disregarded, as it does not encode a druggable or functional protein.
