MT-ND6 pseudogene 15 (MTND6P15)

MT-ND6 pseudogene 15 (MTND6P15) is a pseudogene, meaning it is a DNA sequence that resembles a known gene—MT-ND6, which encodes a mitochondrial complex I subunit—but is nonfunctional and does not encode a protein[3]. It is not known to have any biological activity, function, or disease association. As a pseudogene, it is not considered a therapeutic target, nor does it interact with drugs or serve as a disease biomarker. MTND6P15 should not be confused with the functional *MT-ND6* gene, which is critical for mitochondrial respiration and is implicated in disorders such as Leber hereditary optic neuropathy and Leigh syndrome[1][2]. There are no established links between MTND6P15 and specific cellular functions, disease mechanisms, or therapeutic interventions. If you are seeking information about a functional therapeutic target, you may want to refer to the MT-ND6 gene or protein, not its pseudogenes.
