DPPA4 pseudogene 3 (DPPA4P3)

DPPA4 pseudogene 3 (DPPA4P3) is a non-coding, non-functional pseudogene related by sequence to the _Developmental pluripotency associated 4_ (DPPA4) gene. Unlike DPPA4, which has a defined role in pluripotency and is implicated in some cancers, DPPA4P3 does not produce a protein and is not known to have any biological, therapeutic, or disease-association significance. Multiple DPPA4 pseudogenes are described in the human genome; these are considered genomic relics without established function[3]. Important Clarification: If you are searching for a therapeutic target or receptor, you likely intended to reference the functional gene _DPPA4_ ("Developmental pluripotency associated 4"), not DPPA4P3. DPPA4 (not its pseudogenes) is associated with chromatin regulation, pluripotency, and has emerging roles in cancer biology[1][2][3][4].
