Nuclear transcription factor Y, gamma pseudogene

This entry encodes a **pseudogene** related to the protein-coding gene for Nuclear transcription factor Y subunit gamma (NFYC). Pseudogenes are non-functional segments of DNA that resemble protein-coding genes but generally lack the capacity to encode functional proteins. There is currently no evidence that the nuclear transcription factor Y, gamma pseudogene is expressed as a protein or involved in direct regulatory roles. As such, it is not considered a therapeutic target, diagnostic biomarker, or drug-interacting entity. The canonical, functional version of this gene is **NFYC (Nuclear transcription factor Y subunit gamma)**, a component of the NF-Y trimeric transcription factor complex that binds CCAAT motifs in gene promoters, but this pseudogene is a distinct, non-coding entity[1][7].
