MT-ND6 pseudogene 18 (MTND6P18)

MT-ND6 pseudogene 18 (MTND6P18) is a pseudogene related to the mitochondrial NADH dehydrogenase 6 (MT-ND6) gene. Unlike the functional MT-ND6 gene, which encodes a subunit of the mitochondrial respiratory chain complex I and is relevant to mitochondrial function and some inherited diseases such as Leber hereditary optic neuropathy and Leigh syndrome[1][2][3][4], the pseudogene MTND6P18 does not code for a functional protein and has no documented role in biological pathways, disease, or pharmacology. As such, it is not considered a receptor, enzyme, transporter, or druggable therapeutic target. Its inclusion in target databases may be due to automated annotation or misclassification, not based on experimental evidence or clinical relevance. Note: If you intended to ask about the functional gene MT-ND6 rather than the pseudogene, please clarify, as the information for the protein-coding gene is vastly different and clinically significant[1][2][3][4][5][6].
