Cytochrome c pseudogene 26 (CYCSP26)

Cytochrome c pseudogene 26 (CYCSP26, also known as HCP26) is one of 49 reported cytochrome c (cyc) pseudogenes in the human genome[2][3]. Pseudogenes such as CYCSP26 originate from genomic duplication or retrotransposition events and are typically characterized by the absence of introns, truncating mutations, disablements in coding regions (such as frame shifts or premature stop codons), and lack of expression. CYCSP26 does not code for a functional protein, is not involved in cellular metabolism or signaling, and plays no known biological or pathological role. None of the cytochrome c pseudogenes, including CYCSP26, are expressed or implicated as therapeutic targets[2][3].
