ATP synthase peripheral stalk subunit OSCP pseudogene 1 (ATP5POP1)

ATP5POP1 is a pseudogene related to the ATP synthase peripheral stalk subunit OSCP (ATP5PO) gene. Unlike the functional ATP5PO gene, which encodes a component of mitochondrial ATP synthase (Complex V) crucial for cellular energy production, ATP5POP1 is a non-coding DNA segment that does not produce a functional protein and is not a molecular target for drugs or therapies. Pseudogenes like ATP5POP1 generally arise from gene duplication or retrotransposition and have lost their protein-coding ability due to mutations or lack of regulatory elements[5]. If you are seeking information on the functional ATP5PO gene/protein—which is an enzyme subunit in mitochondrial ATP synthesis and a potential target in metabolic or mitochondrial dysfunction—refer instead to ATP5PO or ATP synthase peripheral stalk subunit OSCP[1][3][4].
