Cytochrome c oxidase-associated subunit FA4 pseudogene 5 (COXFA4P5)

COXFA4P5 is a pseudogene annotated as related to the protein-coding gene Cytochrome c oxidase-associated subunit FA4 (COXFA4). Pseudogenes are genomic sequences that resemble known genes but have lost their protein-coding capability due to mutations and typically lack biological function. COXFA4P5 does not encode a functional protein and is not recognized as a pharmacological or clinical target. Its parent gene, COXFA4 (previously NDUFA4), is a structural subunit of Cytochrome c oxidase (Complex IV of the mitochondrial electron transport chain), with pathogenic mutations in the parent gene being associated with mitochondrial disorders such as Leigh syndrome[1][2][3][5]. However, COXFA4P5 itself is not functionally implicated in these contexts and does not serve as a disease biomarker or drug target.
