Striatin, calmodulin binding protein 4 pseudogene

Striatin, calmodulin binding protein 4 pseudogene is a nonfunctional genomic DNA segment closely related in sequence to the functional STRN4 gene, which encodes a calmodulin-binding scaffolding protein involved in key signaling pathways. As a pseudogene, it does not encode a functional protein, lacks apparent biological function, and is not considered a drug target. Pseudogenes may sometimes influence gene regulation, but no known regulatory, disease, or pharmacological functions are associated with this particular pseudogene[5][9]. Key point: *ENSG00000277146 is not an active gene, enzyme, receptor, or transporter; it is a pseudogene and thus not appropriate as a therapeutic target. If a functional STRN4 gene or protein is intended, STRN4 (striatin 4, ENSG00000090372) should be used instead[1][4].*
