Pseudogene similar to translationally-controlled tumor protein 1

ENSG00000231931 encodes a pseudogene sequence similar to part of the translationally-controlled tumor protein 1 (TPT1) gene, but does not itself encode a functional protein or serve any recognized direct biological function. Unlike TPT1, which is known for its roles in cell growth, apoptosis, and cancer progression[2], the pseudogene is generally non-functional and not considered a therapeutic, diagnostic, or pharmacological target. No drugs, established disease associations, or molecular mechanisms are attributed to this pseudogene. If you are searching for information related to the functional tumor protein TPT1, use the gene symbol TPT1 directly (not this pseudogene), as TPT1 itself is a recognized oncogenic protein and potential drug target in several cancers[2]. If your intention is to profile drug or disease associations, biomarker roles, or mechanisms of action, refer to TPT1 (Translationally-controlled tumor protein 1) rather than this pseudogene.
