Solute carrier family 25, member 1 pseudogene

Solute carrier family 25, member 1 pseudogene (ENSG00000227545) is a non-functional DNA sequence homologous to the SLC25A1 gene, which encodes a mitochondrial citrate transporter[1]. Pseudogenes such as this do not produce a functional protein and are generally not transcribed or translated at biologically relevant levels. Therefore, they are not considered therapeutic targets, nor are they associated with disease phenotypes or pharmacological interest. The functional gene SLC25A1, by contrast, is involved in the export of citrate from mitochondria and is important for cellular metabolism, but this pseudogene is simply a genomic relic without functional significance[1].
