NADH:ubiquinone oxidoreductase complex assembly factor 4 pseudogene 1 (NDUFAF4P1)

NDUFAF4P1 encodes a **pseudogene** related to the NADH:ubiquinone oxidoreductase complex assembly factor 4 gene. Unlike its protein-coding counterpart, NDUFAF4, this pseudogene does not produce a functional protein product and is not directly involved in known biological or disease processes. As such, it is **not considered a therapeutic target**, receptor, transporter, or enzyme in the context of drug discovery or therapy[1][3][5][7]. Pseudogenes are typically genomic DNA sequences similar to normal genes but are non-functional; in gene catalogs and functional databases, they are not listed as druggable targets or assigned roles in molecular pharmacology[1][3][7]. The actual functional gene associated with mitochondrial complex I assembly is **NDUFAF4**, and not NDUFAF4P1[2][7]. NDUFAF4P1 is a *non-coding pseudogene* and does *not* represent a drug target, receptor, enzyme, or physiological biomolecule of therapeutic interest. Its entry here is likely incorrect or non-actionable for target-based research[1][3][5][7].
