Adenylate kinase 3 pseudogene 3 (AK3P3)

Adenylate kinase 3 pseudogene 3 (AK3P3) is a human pseudogene likely derived from the AK3 gene, which codes for a mitochondrial phosphotransferase enzyme involved in energy metabolism. Pseudogenes like AK3P3 do not encode a functional protein and are considered inactive in terms of cellular enzymatic activity. There are multiple adenylate kinase 3 pseudogenes in the human genome, with AK3P3 being one such non-functional copy. It is not considered a therapeutic target, nor does it have known direct biological functions or clinical significance as an individual locus[4]. AK3P3 is not an active enzyme, receptor, or therapeutic target, but a pseudogene. If you are interested in the active enzyme, the relevant target would be Adenylate kinase 3 (AK3), not the pseudogene variant.
