Ferritin light chain pseudogene 1 (FTLP1)

Target: FTLP1
Molecular classification: Other (Pseudogene)

Overview

Ferritin light chain pseudogene 1 (FTLP1) is classified as a processed pseudogene homologous to the FTL gene, which encodes the light chain of human ferritin responsible for iron storage within cells[1][2]. FTLP1 does not result in a functional protein. While most pseudogenes have historically been considered non-functional, recent studies propose that ferritin-related pseudogenes may modulate gene expression via miRNA binding and ceRNA effects. There is no evidence that FTLP1 itself is functionally characterized or relevant as a drug target or disease biomarker[1][2].

Other names: bA465L10.3

Biological functions

Potential competing endogenous RNA (ceRNA) activityregulation of ferritin light chain gene via miRNA binding (parental gene regulatory function is plausible but not established for FTLP1 specifically)

Disease associations

None directly associatedpseudogenes of ferritin family have been studied for possible roles in cancer and iron metabolism regulation
