Similar to sodium- and chloride-dependent creatine transporter pseudogene

**ENSG00000226141** refers to a human *pseudogene* related to the **sodium- and chloride-dependent creatine transporter** family, specifically named "solute carrier family 6 member 10, pseudogene" or SLC6A10P[7][8]. Pseudogenes are non-functional gene copies that do not encode active proteins; SLC6A10P shares homology with the functional creatine transporter gene SLC6A8 but does not produce a functional transporter. It has no established biological function, disease involvement, or therapeutic relevance, and is not considered a drug target[7][8][4].\n\n**Additional context:** \n- The canonical, therapeutically actionable creatine transporter is **sodium- and chloride-dependent creatine transporter 1 (SLC6A8)**, which is functional and clinically relevant in creatine transporter deficiency syndromes[1][2][9][10]. \n- ENSG00000226141 and its encoded pseudogene (SLC6A10P) are distinct from SLC6A8 and do not encode a transporter protein[7][8].\n- Pseudogenes may sometimes have regulatory effects on their parental gene but SLC6A10P has no characterized biological function or disease relevance in current literature[8].
