Eukaryotic translation elongation factor 1 alpha 1 pseudogene 12 (EEF1A1P12)

EEF1A1P12 is a processed pseudogene related to the EEF1A1 gene, which encodes a core protein in the translation elongation machinery responsible for delivering aminoacyl-tRNAs to the ribosome during protein synthesis. Unlike its parent gene, EEF1A1P12 does not encode a functional protein, but has been reported in genomic studies through copy number variation or aberrant transcription associated with several cancer types and epilepsy, though its functional relevance remains uncertain. Pseudogenes can sometimes affect cellular processes through RNA transcripts, but EEF1A1P12 is primarily catalogued as a non-coding genomic element. It is not considered a pharmacological or therapeutic target[2][4].
