Zinc finger protein 831 pseudogene

Zinc finger protein 831 pseudogene (LOC100419783, ENSG00000276467) is a non-coding, non-functional genomic element in humans, sharing sequence similarity with the protein-coding zinc finger protein 831 (ZNF831)[3][4]. Pseudogenes are remnants of evolutionary protein-coding genes that have lost their ability to produce functional proteins, often due to mutations, deletions, or loss of regulatory elements. There is no known biological, pharmacological, or disease relevance for this pseudogene. It should not be confused with the functional ZNF831 gene, which encodes a transcription factor with possible roles in apoptosis and breast cancer biology, and is sometimes studied as a biomarker or putative therapeutic target[1]. If you are interested in functional and drug-relevant information, you should refer to "Zinc finger protein 831" (ZNF831, ENSG00000124203), not the pseudogene.
