ATPase H+ transporting V0 subunit c pseudogene 4 (ATP6V0CP4)

ATPase H+ transporting V0 subunit c pseudogene 4 (ATP6V0CP4) is a human pseudogene—an inactive, non-protein-coding genomic sequence related to the well-characterized ATP6V0C gene, which encodes the c subunit of the V0 domain in vacuolar H+-ATPase (V-ATPase). While the parent gene (ATP6V0C) participates in acidifying intracellular organelles critical for processes such as protein sorting and synaptic vesicle function, ATP6V0CP4 is not believed to encode a functional protein. Some pseudogenes are capable of regulating their cognate parent genes or affecting broader gene networks through noncoding RNA mechanisms, but there is currently no evidence for a specific biological or disease association for ATP6V0CP4 itself. It is cataloged in genomic and genetic association databases but is not a therapeutic target.
