METTL5 pseudogene 3 (METTL5P3)

METTL5 pseudogene 3 (METTL5P3) is designated as a processed pseudogene according to the HUGO Gene Nomenclature Committee and does not encode a functional protein[5]. Unlike its functional parent gene METTL5, which is a bona fide RNA methyltransferase involved in 18S rRNA modification and translation regulation, METTL5P3 lacks coding potential and is not involved in catalysis, signaling, or disease processes[5]. There are no known biomarkers, interacting drugs, or therapeutic mechanisms associated with METTL5P3. If the target of interest is the functional METTL5, a separate entry should be created for "Methyltransferase 5, N6-adenosine (METTL5)" with relevant biochemical and clinical information.
