High mobility group box 3 pseudogene 22 (HMGB3P22)

High mobility group box 3 pseudogene 22 (HMGB3P22) is a human DNA segment classified as a pseudogene, meaning it resembles the functional high mobility group box 3 (HMGB3) gene but has accumulated mutations that prevent it from encoding a functional protein[2][3]. Pseudogenes like HMGB3P22 are not typically translated into protein and do not function as receptors, enzymes, or other conventional drug targets. While some pseudogenes have been implicated in regulatory roles—such as acting as microRNA sponges, influencing the expression of related genes, or producing regulatory noncoding RNAs—such functions have not been specifically established for HMGB3P22. This pseudogene is annotated in genomic databases for reference but is not a valid therapeutic target and does not interact with known drugs[1][2][3].
