Transmembrane protein 92 pseudogene (TMEM92P)

Transmembrane protein 92 pseudogene (ENSG00000258671) is classified as a pseudogene, meaning it is a segment of DNA derived from the functional transmembrane protein 92 gene but contains disabling mutations (such as stop codons or frameshifts) which prevent it from encoding an active protein[1][5][8]. Pseudogenes are generally viewed as non-functional genomic elements, although some may play regulatory roles at the RNA level, these functions have not been demonstrated for this pseudogene specifically. The designation "pseudogene" indicates that it is not translated into a functional transmembrane protein and is not considered a receptor, enzyme, or target for pharmacological intervention[1][8]. Pseudogenes are important for evolutionary studies but do not typically serve as drug targets or have known mechanisms of action, roles in disease, or pharmaceutical relevance[1][8].
