Actin gamma 1 pseudogene 16 (ACTG1P16)

Actin gamma 1 pseudogene 16 (ACTG1P16) is a pseudogene found at chromosomal location 16q in the human genome. It shares sequence similarity with the ACTG1 gene, which encodes the actin gamma 1 protein, but ACTG1P16 itself does not code for a functional protein and has no known biological activity or therapeutic relevance[3]. It is cataloged in gene annotation databases (e.g., NCBI Gene, Ensembl) primarily for completeness of the genome and lacks documented disease associations or roles in any signaling pathways. Pseudogenes like ACTG1P16 are remnants of gene duplication or retrotransposition events and typically are not transcribed or translated into active protein products.
