Molecular classification
Pseudogene, Processed pseudogene, Non-coding DNA segment
01

Overview

Cytochrome c pseudogene 39 (CYCSP39, also called HC1 or HCP39) is one of 49 cytochrome c pseudogenes identified in the human genome. These pseudogenes originated from retrotransposition events, meaning genetic material from the cytochrome c gene was copied and inserted back into the genome as non-functional copies. Most cytochrome c pseudogenes, including CYCSP39, contain disablements such as frame shifts and premature stop codons, and none are normally expressed as proteins in humans. While some pseudogenes in other families have become key regulators or disease-related, CYCSP39 has no documented biological function, disease association, or therapeutic relevance. Its primary importance is as a component of the molecular record for cytochrome c gene evolution in primates.

Other names
HC1HCP39
02

Mechanism of action

None; drug mechanisms do not target pseudogenes directly

03

Biological functions

None known for CYCSP39; typical pseudogene functions may include genomic regulation, evolutionary records, and rare epigenetic effects, but there is no evidence for direct biological role in humans
04

Disease associations

None specific to CYCSP39; generally, most cytochrome c pseudogenes do not have direct implication in disease
05

Safety considerations

None; not applicable for non-functional pseudogenes.
06

Interacting drugs

None; pseudogenes are not drug targets
07

Biomarkers

None; pseudogenes are rarely used as biomarkers, and there is no evidence for CYCSP39
