ANKRD49 pseudogene 3 (ANKRD49P3)

ANKRD49 pseudogene 3 is classified as a pseudogene, meaning it is a nonfunctional genomic sequence with homology to the protein-coding ankyrin repeat domain 49 (ANKRD49) gene. Pseudogenes do not encode functional proteins and are generally not considered therapeutic targets. There is no evidence that ANKRD49P3 is involved in biological functions, human disease, or responses to drugs. Pseudogenes may occasionally be transcribed, but evidence for ANKRD49P3-specific transcription or function is lacking[4][5].\nThe ANKRD49 gene (not ANKRD49P3) encodes ankyrin repeat domain 49 and has described functions in transcriptional regulation and potential involvement in cancer[1][2][3]; however, the pseudogene ANKRD49P3 does not share these functional properties.
