Heat shock protein family E (Hsp10) member 1 pseudogene 12 (HSPE1P12)

HSPE1P12 (heat shock protein family E (Hsp10) member 1 pseudogene 12) is classified as a human pseudogene, meaning it is a segment of DNA with significant similarity to the functional HSPE1 gene (which encodes a mitochondrial chaperonin known for assisting protein folding), but HSPE1P12 itself does not produce a functional protein product[2][3][4][8]. Pseudogenes are usually identified by their sequence homology to their parent gene along with disablements such as premature stop codons or frameshifts, which prevent production of active proteins[8]. As a member of the heat shock protein family E pseudogenes, HSPE1P12 is catalogued based on the guidelines from genetic nomenclature bodies[4]. It has no known physiological role, disease association, or relevance as a drug target.
