UDP glucuronosyltransferase 2 family, polypeptide B11 pseudogene

The **UDP glucuronosyltransferase 2 family, polypeptide B11 pseudogene** (ENSG00000248763) is a **pseudogene** related to the UGT2B11 gene. Unlike active members of the UGT (UDP-glucuronosyltransferase) family, which encode enzymes catalyzing glucuronidation—a critical process in detoxification and metabolism of endogenous and exogenous compounds—this pseudogene does not produce a functional protein and has no known biological activity or disease association. It is not considered a drug target or therapeutic receptor[5][1]. **Context and explanation:** - The "pseudogene" status means that this genomic locus does not encode a protein product, nor does it have recognized enzymatic function or therapeutic relevance[5][1]. - The active UGT2B11 enzyme (in contrast) would be classified as an "enzyme" and play a role in xenobiotic and hormone metabolism, but this is not applicable to this specific pseudogene[10][7][8]. - There is nothing to suggest ENSG00000248763 (as a pseudogene) is used for drug targeting, biomarker assays, or associated with disease; these features are associated with functional UGT enzymes—not their pseudogenes. **Summary for structured data extraction:** - This entry is a non-functional pseudogene, not a therapeutic or biological target, and is likely an incorrect or non-actionable target for drug discovery or clinical translation[5][1].
