Mitochondrially encoded ATP synthase 6 pseudogene 13 (MTATP6P13)

MTATP6P13, also referred to as mitochondrially encoded ATP synthase 6 pseudogene 13, is a human mitochondrial DNA pseudogene closely related to the functional MT-ATP6 gene[1][2][3]. While MT-ATP6 encodes a subunit of the F-type ATP synthase (complex V), essential for mitochondrial ATP synthesis and implicated in mitochondrial disorders like Leigh syndrome and NARP[1][2][3][5][6], MTATP6P13 itself is a non-functional gene segment that does not encode any protein and has no known biological or disease function. It is cataloged in sequence databases for genomic annotation and evolutionary study, but is not considered a therapeutic target, receptor, enzyme, or druggable entity. Summary distinction: If you seek information on the enzyme or disease associations, refer to MT-ATP6 (mitochondrially encoded ATP synthase membrane subunit 6), not the pseudogene MTATP6P13[1][2][3][4][5][6].
