TMPRSS11B N-terminal like (pseudogene) (TMPRSS11BNL)

TMPRSS11BNL (TMPRSS11B N-terminal like) is classified as a pseudogene in humans and does not encode a functional protein. Its sequence is homologous to the protein-coding gene TMPRSS11B but lacks a functional product. There is no evidence it functions as a receptor, enzyme, or any conventional drug target, nor does it have characterized biological activity or relevance as a drug target[3]. Key clarification: *TMPRSS11BNL* is not the same as the functional TMPRSS11B gene (Transmembrane protease, serine 11B), which is a serine protease with tumorigenic roles in lung cancer[1][2]. The pseudogene is genomically related but is not itself a receptor, enzyme, or therapeutic target, and should not be confused with TMPRSS11B. All disease, functional, and drug-targeting information refers to TMPRSS11B, not TMPRSS11BNL[1][2][3].
