BCL2 interacting protein 3 pseudogene 28 (BNIP3P28)

BCL2 interacting protein 3 pseudogene 28 (BNIP3P28) is classified as a pseudogene, specifically a non-protein-coding segment of DNA that is homologous to the BNIP3 gene but typically carries inactivating mutations, preventing the production of a functional protein[2][4][11]. Pseudogenes may be transcribed into RNA and, in exceptional cases, their transcripts can have gene regulatory roles or be processed into non-coding RNAs, but no such functions have been demonstrated specifically for BNIP3P28[5][8][11]. The functional, protein-coding BNIP3 gene is known for roles in apoptosis and autophagy, but this does not apply to the pseudogene form BNIP3P28. As a result, BNIP3P28 is not a receptor, enzyme, or established therapeutic target.
