Zinc finger protein 248 pseudogene

Zinc finger protein 248 pseudogene (ENSG00000248452) is classified as a pseudogene related to the zinc finger protein 248 gene, which encodes a member of the C2H2-type zinc finger protein family. Unlike protein-coding members of this family—such as ZNF248, which is predicted to be involved in transcriptional regulation[1][7][4]—the pseudogene does not code for a functional protein and has no established biological activity or clinical significance. Pseudogenes like this may result from gene duplication or mutation events and are generally transcriptionally and translationally inactive. Protein-coding zinc finger family members are the largest class of transcription factors in humans, broadly involved in DNA binding and gene regulation[3][5][8]. However, *pseudogenes* of these proteins, like zinc finger protein 248 pseudogene, lack the necessary sequences to be translated into functional proteins and are not considered drug targets nor implicated directly in disease or therapy response.
