Cell division cycle 27 pseudogene 3 (CDC27P3)

Cell division cycle 27 pseudogene 3 (CDC27P3) is classified as a pseudogene, meaning that it is a DNA sequence similar to the functional CDC27 gene but does not produce a functional protein due to accumulated mutations[1]. Pseudogenes like CDC27P3 are generally not involved in protein-coding, cell signaling, or disease causation and are considered non-functional remnants of gene evolution[1][3]. Some pseudogenes are studied for potential regulatory roles at the RNA level, but as of current knowledge, CDC27P3 does not have any known biological or therapeutic significance. The functional gene CDC27 (cell division cycle 27), sometimes referred to in literature, is a core component of the anaphase-promoting complex/cyclosome (APC/C), with important roles in cell cycle regulation and cancer, but CDC27P3 is not the same—CDC27P3 is a pseudogene, not a canonical therapeutic target[3][5][1].
