MT-CYB pseudogene 24 (MTCYBP24)

MT-CYB pseudogene 24 (MTCYBP24) is a pseudogene—a non-functional, non-protein-coding segment of DNA related to the MT-CYB gene, which encodes cytochrome b, a key protein subunit of mitochondrial complex III involved in electron transport and cellular respiration[2][6]. Unlike the functional MT-CYB gene, MTCYBP24 does not produce a functional protein and has no established role in biology, disease, or therapeutics. It is not considered a therapeutic target, and no drugs are known to interact with it. The presence of “pseudogene” in its name and the lack of known function or involvement in disease strongly indicate that this is not an active gene or relevant receptor/enzyme for therapeutic purposes[2][6]. *Note: If you are seeking information on the functional mitochondrial cytochrome b gene (MT-CYB), which is a component of the mitochondrial respiratory chain and associated with disease, refer specifically to “mitochondrially encoded cytochrome b” or “MT-CYB,” not this pseudogene variant.*
