MT-CO1 pseudogene 7 (MTCO1P7)

MT-CO1 pseudogene 7 (MTCO1P7) is a nuclear-encoded pseudogene corresponding to the mitochondrial gene MT-CO1, which encodes cytochrome c oxidase subunit I, a component of respiratory chain complex IV. Unlike the functional MT-CO1 gene, MTCO1P7 is classified as a pseudogene, which means it does not encode a functional protein and there is no evidence that it acts as a receptor, enzyme, transporter, or other classical drug target. There are no known biological functions, disease roles, biomarker uses, or drug interactions described for MTCO1P7. It is annotated as a distinct genomic locus but is not a target of therapeutic interest. If you require information on the functional (protein-coding) MT-CO1 gene (mitochondrially encoded cytochrome c oxidase I), please specify, as its properties differ profoundly from those of the pseudogene.
