Solute carrier family 25, member 13 pseudogene (SLC25A13P)

ENSG00000256176, labeled as "solute carrier family 25, member 13 pseudogene," refers to a non-functional, non-coding copy of the SLC25A13 gene. Pseudogenes are DNA sequences similar to functional genes but generally lack protein coding potential due to mutations or incomplete transcription. The functional SLC25A13 gene encodes for the protein citrin, a mitochondrial carrier involved in the malate-aspartate shuttle and amino acid transport, but the pseudogene itself has no known protein product, biological function, or disease association. Thus, it is not a therapeutic target nor associated with any interacting drugs or biomarker usage. This entry likely appears in genomic databases for reference or evolutionary studies, rather than for functional or therapeutic relevance. If information about the active, functional gene SLC25A13 (not the pseudogene) is needed, please specify. No drugs, disease roles, mechanisms, or biomarker information are associated with pseudogenes like ENSG00000256176.
