General transcription factor IIH subunit 5 pseudogene

The general transcription factor IIH subunit 5 pseudogene represents a non-functional genomic copy of the *GTF2H5* gene, which encodes a subunit of the transcription and DNA repair factor TFIIH. Unlike the functional *GTF2H5* gene, which participates in nucleotide excision repair and gene transcription, pseudogenes typically lack coding potential due to disabling mutations and are not transcribed or translated into functional protein. Some pseudogenes are transcribed and can play a regulatory role, but no direct regulatory or disease link has been established for this pseudogene. Pseudogenes are generally not considered drug targets, and there are no known interacting drugs, mechanism of action, biomedical applications, or established clinical utility for this locus[2][5][8].
