Sjogren syndrome antigen B pseudogene

This target, ENSG00000234586 (also referred to as LOC100130801), is a pseudogene related to the functional Sjogren syndrome antigen B gene (SSB, also called La autoantigen). Unlike the protein-coding SSB gene, which encodes an RNA-binding protein involved in RNA metabolism and is an autoantigen in Sjögren’s syndrome and lupus, the pseudogene does not produce a functional protein and has no known biological activity or therapeutic relevance. Pseudogenes are considered non-functional sequences that arise from gene duplication or retrotransposition and typically do not participate in normal cellular processes[1][4][8]. Key points: - ENSG00000234586 is *not a therapeutic target*, *enzyme*, *receptor*, or functional protein[1][4]. - It is a non-coding pseudogene and does not have the known disease or drug interactions attributed to its functional gene counterpart[1][4][8]. - If you seek information on the *functional protein target* related to Sjogren syndrome antigen B, you should instead refer to the SSB (La protein, HGNC:11338, Entrez Gene:6741)[8][9].
