PRSS3 pseudogene 3 (PRSS3P3)

PRSS3 pseudogene 3 (PRSS3P3, TRY3) is a pseudogene in the human genome and does not encode a functional protein. It shares sequence homology with the functional serine protease 3 (PRSS3) gene but lacks protein-coding potential. As a pseudogene, PRSS3P3 is not involved in known biological processes, is not classified in major molecular or therapeutic target families such as enzyme, receptor, transporter, or transcription factor, and is not known to have disease associations or drug interactions. PRSS3P3 is primarily included in gene databases for genome annotation and may be useful for studies on gene evolution and homologous sequences but has no current function or role as a molecular target[4]. Key clarification: PRSS3P3 is distinct from the functional gene PRSS3 (Protease, serine, 3; Trypsin-3/TRY3), which encodes an active serine protease with roles in proteolysis and potential disease significance[1][2][7]. PRSS3P3 itself is a non-functional pseudogene and does not act as a receptor, enzyme, or other typical therapeutic target[4].
