DMAC1 pseudogene 1 (DMAC1P1)

DMAC1 pseudogene 1 (DMAC1P1) is a human pseudogene related to the functional gene DMAC1, also known as transmembrane protein 261 (TMEM261). DMAC1P1 does not encode for a functional protein, and there are no reported physiological or therapeutic roles for this sequence. It is sometimes referenced under the alias TMEM261P1 or as "transmembrane protein 261 pseudogene 1." Pseudogenes such as DMAC1P1 may arise from gene duplication or retrotransposition but typically lack coding capacity and are not considered molecular drug targets[3][5]. If you were searching for the functional protein-coding gene, refer to DMAC1 (Distal membrane arm assembly component 1), which is involved in mitochondrial complex I assembly and mitochondrial function, but this is a distinct entity from DMAC1P1[1][2][7].
