CCNQ pseudogene 3 (CCNQP3)

CCNQ pseudogene 3 is annotated as a pseudogene locus in the human genome. Pseudogenes are generally non-protein-coding genetic elements that resemble known genes but contain sequence disablements such as premature stop codons or frameshifts[4]. While traditionally considered non-functional, recent studies reveal that some pseudogenes can play regulatory roles by acting as competitive endogenous RNAs (ceRNAs), modulating gene expression through microRNA decoy activity[1][2][5]. However, there is no direct evidence that CCNQ pseudogene 3 encodes any functional RNA or modulates biological pathways or disease processes. It is not considered a receptor, enzyme, transporter, or pharmacological target[3]. CCNQP3 has no reported disease associations, interacting drugs, or biomarker status. This entry is considered incorrect as a druggable target: while pseudogenes can have regulatory function via ceRNA networks, CCNQP3 itself is not an established functional pseudogene, nor is it therapeutically actionable[3].
