DEAD-box helicase 43 pseudogene 3 (DDX43P3)

DDX43P3 is a pseudogene related to the protein-coding gene DEAD-box helicase 43 (DDX43). DDX43 itself is an ATP-dependent RNA and DNA helicase with a known role in RNA metabolism, cell proliferation, tumorigenesis, and is considered a potential therapeutic target for cancer due to its overexpression in tumors and low expression in normal tissues. The pseudogene DDX43P3, however, is not expressed as a functional protein and does not have any established molecular function, disease role, or relevance as a therapeutic target. DDX43P3 is not a functional molecule; it is a pseudogene corresponding to DEAD-box helicase 43, and should not be considered a valid therapeutic target. If your interest is in the protein with biological function, refer to DEAD-box helicase 43 (DDX43, HAGE).
