MYG1 pseudogene 1 (MYG1P1)

MYG1 pseudogene 1 (MYG1P1) is a non-coding pseudogene related to the protein-coding gene MYG1, located in the human genome. Unlike its parental gene, MYG1, which encodes a 3′-5′ RNA exonuclease involved in ribosomal RNA processing, mitochondrial RNA metabolism, oxidative phosphorylation, and cancer cell metabolism[1][2][3][4], MYG1P1 has no evidence of protein-coding potential or independent biological function. Pseudogenes such as MYG1P1 are generally non-functional genomic DNA fragments that arise from duplication events or retrotransposition but may occasionally have regulatory roles at the RNA level; however, there is no evidence of such a function for MYG1P1. All known disease, drug, and mechanistic associations relate to the parent gene MYG1 and not the pseudogene MYG1P1.
