01
Overview
Cytochrome c oxidase subunit 6C pseudogene 18 (COX6CP18) is a human pseudogene, meaning it is a genomic DNA sequence similar to a protein-coding gene but non-functional. It is related in sequence to the functional gene *cytochrome c oxidase subunit 6C* (COX6C), a component of the mitochondrial electron transport chain involved in respiratory metabolism. COX6CP18 does not code for a functional protein and is not implicated as a therapeutic target, biomarker, or disease gene. Pseudogenes, though sometimes transcribed or involved in gene regulation, are generally not linked to specific molecular functions or druggability unless otherwise demonstrated, which is not the case for COX6CP18. COX6C is a structural subunit of cytochrome c oxidase, but COX6CP18 is a non-coding pseudogene. Pseudogenes like COX6CP18 may have potential regulatory roles, though no data support any such role or biomarker use for COX6CP18 itself. The most authoritative genomic resources (NCBI Gene, GeneCards) confirm its classification as a pseudogene with no protein product or direct disease role.
