MT-CO1 pseudogene 22 (MTCO1P22)

MTCO1P22 (MT-CO1 pseudogene 22) is a nuclear-encoded pseudogene, resulting from the retrotransposition or translocation of mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase subunit I (MT-CO1) gene sequence into the nuclear genome. It is annotated as a non-protein-coding sequence and does not contribute to cytochrome c oxidase activity. Unlike its functional mitochondrial counterpart (MT-CO1), MTCO1P22 has no demonstrated biological function, clinical relevance, or drug interactions. Its existence is a remnant of genome evolution and serves as a genetic artifact rather than a molecular target. In summary, MTCO1P22 is a pseudogene and not a therapeutic target, with no known biological function, disease relevance, or drug interactions. Its annotations are correct and current, but its clinical and pharmacological relevance is null.
