High mobility group box 3 pseudogene 1 (HMGB3P1)

High mobility group box 3 pseudogene 1 (HMGB3P1) is a pseudogene related to the high mobility group box protein family, located in humans and also referenced as HMG4L, HMGB3L1, or dJ18C9.3[1][3][5][6]. As a pseudogene, HMGB3P1 is considered a non-functional genetic remnant; it shares sequence similarity with functional genes but does not encode a functional protein due to the accumulation of disabling mutations or regulatory silencing[2]. There is no evidence that HMGB3P1 serves as a therapeutic target (such as a receptor, enzyme, transporter, or transcription factor), nor is it known to directly participate in canonical biological processes, disease mechanisms, or drug–target interactions. While some pseudogenes can have regulatory roles at the RNA level, there are no established data or therapeutic implications for HMGB3P1 in these contexts[2][5].
