GGCT pseudogene 3 (GGCTP3)

GGCT pseudogene 3 (GGCTP3) is a processed or non-processed pseudogene located in the human genome and related to the functional gamma-glutamylcyclotransferase (GGCT) gene[3][5]. As a pseudogene, it does not encode a functional protein. No biological function or disease association has been established for GGCTP3, and it is not considered a therapeutic target. Like other pseudogenes, it may retain high sequence similarity to the parent gene but typically lacks coding potential due to mutations, insertions, or deletions. Most pseudogenes, including GGCTP3, are not transcribed or translated, though in rare cases, pseudogenes can regulate their parent gene expression via miRNA decoy activity or other mechanisms; specifically, for GGCTP3, no such role has been identified[3][5][4].
