Vacuolar protein sorting 13 homolog B pseudogene

The vacuolar protein sorting 13 homolog B pseudogene (ENSG00000262818) is a genomic locus annotated as a pseudogene related to the VPS13B gene family. Pseudogenes are non-functional segments of DNA resembling functional genes, generally arising from gene duplication or retrotransposition events but lacking the ability to encode an active protein product. This means they do not participate in known biological processes or serve as targets for therapeutic intervention. This entry should not be used as a molecular drug target or in contexts requiring an active protein or receptor. If you intended to refer to the protein-coding gene VPS13B, which is linked to Cohen syndrome and other clinical phenotypes, that is a distinct entry. The pseudogene itself is not functionally relevant for drug discovery or molecular therapy contexts.
