ADH5 pseudogene 4 (ADH5P4)

ADH5 pseudogene 4 (ADH5P4) is a non-coding processed pseudogene related to the functional alcohol dehydrogenase 5 (ADH5) gene. While the parental ADH5 gene plays important enzymatic roles in formaldehyde and S-nitrosoglutathione metabolism and is involved in cellular detoxification and nitric oxide signaling, ADH5P4 itself does not encode a functional protein and is not known to participate in any biological pathways, disease processes, or therapeutic mechanisms. Pseudogenes such as ADH5P4 may arise via gene duplication followed by mutations that prevent protein production, such as frameshifts and premature stop codons. There is no evidence ADH5P4 is a direct or indirect target of any drug, nor is it used as a biomarker or associated with any known disease roles. Use of this target name in a pharmacological or experimental context is likely incorrect; references to ADH5P4 should be checked for possible confusion with the functional enzyme ADH5.
