HDGFL3 pseudogene 1 (HDGFL3P1)

HDGFL3 pseudogene 1 (HDGFL3P1) is classified as a pseudogene in the human genome (accession: 117751742, NCBI Gene). Pseudogenes are segments of genomic DNA that resemble functional genes but are generally considered non-coding and lack biological activity. There are no known protein products, biological roles, or implications in disease pathogenesis described for HDGFL3P1. It can be mistakenly conflated with HDGFL3 ("HDGF-like 3"), a distinct, protein-coding gene predicted to have microtubule binding activity and roles in microtubule polymerization and cell proliferation. However, HDGFL3P1 is a separate, non-coding entity and not a functional molecular target. HDGFL3P1 is a pseudogene and not a valid drug target, receptor, or therapeutically relevant biomolecule.
