Sterol carrier protein pseudogene

Molecular classification: Pseudogene

Overview

Sterol carrier protein pseudogene (ENSG00000253536) is a DNA sequence in the human genome that is highly similar to the sterol carrier protein (SCP2) gene but is non-functional, meaning it does not code for a protein or contribute directly to cellular processes. Pseudogenes like this can arise through gene duplication or retrotransposition, and may sometimes be transcribed at low levels, but typically lack regulatory function, protein-coding potential, or involvement in disease or therapy. This means that, although it is annotated in genome databases, it is not a receptor, enzyme, transporter, transcription factor, or any other class of functional molecular target, and does not serve as a valid therapeutic target or biomarker.
