CTAGE family member 13, pseudogene (CTAGE13P)

CTAGE family member 13, pseudogene (CTAGE13P), is classified as a pseudogene in the human genome[1][2]. Pseudogenes are non-functional segments of DNA that resemble functional genes but have lost their protein-coding ability or are otherwise non-functional due to mutations or genomic alterations[3]. Most pseudogenes, including CTAGE13P, do not produce functional proteins and are not considered therapeutic or pharmacological targets[1][2][3]. While some pseudogenes can be transcribed and may participate in regulatory processes (e.g., acting as competitive endogenous RNAs or modulating gene expression), there is currently no evidence that CTAGE13P plays any direct or recognized biological, disease, or therapeutic function. It is not associated with any drug interactions, safety concerns, or use as a biomarker. The record likely appears in databases solely because of its sequence similarity to functional CTAGE gene family members; however, it does not encode an active targetable product and should not be considered a molecular target in the pharmaceutical or biomedical sense[1][2][3].
