Transcription elongation regulator 1 pseudogene

Transcription elongation regulator 1 pseudogene (ENSG00000270521) is a DNA sequence in the human genome that has high homology to the functional TCERG1 gene but is incapable of producing a functional protein product. Pseudogenes in general are defined as nonfunctional segments of DNA that often arise through gene duplication or retrotransposition, and they may rarely give rise to regulatory RNAs but typically do not play active biological roles[1][3][5][7]. This pseudogene is not considered a receptor, enzyme, transporter, or therapeutic target and does not participate in drug-target interactions or disease processes. Its existence should not be confused with the functional TCERG1 gene, which has established roles in transcription regulation[2][6][8].\n\nClarification: If seeking information on a potential drug target, use *Transcription elongation regulator 1* (TCERG1, ENSG00000113649), not the pseudogene (ENSG00000270521)[2][6][8].
