Stomatin pseudogene

Stomatin pseudogene refers to a non-coding genomic region homologous to the functional stomatin gene (STOM), which encodes a conserved membrane protein involved in ion channel regulation and associated with hereditary stomatocytosis[1][2][3]. This pseudogene does not encode a functional protein and does not have established roles in human disease, molecular function, or as a target for drug therapy[3]. It is commonly cataloged as LOC100418713 in genetic databases and is not considered a therapeutic target. The entry "ENSG00000262048" corresponds to a pseudogene and not to the functional stomatin protein or its gene STOM; any data retrieval for druggability, biomarkers, or disease associations should be linked to the functional STOM gene, not its pseudogene. Therefore, this target is considered incorrect in the context of drug discovery or therapeutic intervention[2][3].
