- Target
- DEFA10P
- Molecular classification
- Pseudogene, Non-coding genetic element, Defensin gene family (pseudogene member)
01
Overview
Defensin alpha 10, pseudogene (DEFA10P) is a non-functional member of the alpha-defensin gene family found in primates. Alpha-defensins are endogenous cationic peptides involved in broad-spectrum antimicrobial defense, but DEFA10P contains sequence defects or truncations that abolish its protein-coding potential. DEFA10P shares sequence similarity with other α-defensins and is informative in studies of primate gene evolution, particularly alpha- and theta-defensin clusters, but does not contribute a functional protein to human physiology. It does not serve as a therapeutic target, nor is it implicated as a disease gene, biomarker, or drug-interaction partner.

Mechanism of action
None (no known mechanisms, as there is no protein expression)
03
Biological functions
The gene does not encode a protein and therefore has no biological function
