Eukaryotic translation initiation factor 4A1 pseudogene 12 (EIF4A1P12)

Eukaryotic translation initiation factor 4A1 pseudogene 12 (EIF4A1P12) is a processed pseudogene of the EIF4A1 gene. Pseudogenes possess DNA sequence similarity to known genes but are generally considered nonfunctional—they typically lack the ability to encode a protein due to disabling mutations such as frameshifts or premature stop codons. EIF4A1P12 is listed among numerous processed pseudogenes related to elongation factors in humans and is not reported to have any protein-coding or targetable function[6][1][5]. EIF4A1P12 is a non-functional, processed pseudogene with no evidence as a drug or therapeutic target. It should not be considered a valid target for pharmacological intervention.
