Transmembrane protein 128 pseudogene (None (no established abbreviation for the pseudogene; TMEM128 is used for the protein-coding gene))

The Transmembrane protein 128 pseudogene (ENSG00000269519) is a non-functional genomic sequence related to the transmembrane protein 128 gene.[2][5] Unlike its protein-coding counterpart TMEM128, this pseudogene does not produce a functional protein. Pseudogenes arise through mutations, duplication, or retrotransposition events, which disable their ability to encode a full-length, functional product.[2][5] While some pseudogenes can be transcribed, their biological functions—if any—are usually limited to regulatory roles at the RNA level, and they are not direct molecular or therapeutic targets[2]. Key points: - This entry is a pseudogene, not an active protein, receptor, or enzyme. - No evidence it is involved in disease, drug interactions, or therapeutic targeting. - "Transmembrane protein 128" (TMEM128, ENSG00000132406) is the related protein-coding gene and may be confused with this pseudogene. For any downstream work, ensure you distinguish the pseudogene ENSG00000269519 from the protein-coding Transmembrane protein 128 (TMEM128, ENSG00000132406)[3][6].
