IMP1 inner mitochondrial membrane peptidase-like pseudogene

This entry refers to a pseudogene related to the IMP1 gene, which itself encodes a subunit of the mitochondrial inner membrane peptidase involved in the processing of proteins targeted to the mitochondrial intermembrane space. However, as a pseudogene, ENSG00000267184 does not encode a functional protein, does not serve as a therapeutic target, and is not implicated in biological functions, disease roles, or drug interactions. Pseudogenes are generally regarded as non-functional remnants of genes that may have homology to protein-coding genes but lack the ability to produce a functional product due to disruptions in coding sequence or regulatory elements[2][7]. There is no evidence that this pseudogene is used as a biomarker or presents safety concerns, and it should not be regarded as a drug target.
