NADH:ubiquinone oxidoreductase subunit A5 pseudogene 3 (NDUFA5P3)

NDUFA5P3 is a pseudogene and not a functional gene product. Although it shares sequence similarity with the protein-coding gene NDUFA5, it does not encode a functional protein and thus does not participate in mitochondrial respiration or electron transport. Pseudogenes are generally considered genomic relics with no known biological function, product, or therapeutic relevance. There are multiple similar pseudogenes on various chromosomes. No evidence exists linking NDUFA5P3 directly to disease, drug targeting, biomarker status, or clinical safety concern[4][10]. If you are seeking a mitochondrial complex I subunit relevant as a therapeutic or biological target, the correct gene would be NDUFA5 (NADH:ubiquinone oxidoreductase subunit A5), not NDUFA5P3[1][3][12].
