Solute carrier family 25 member 24 pseudogene

This entry refers to a **pseudogene** corresponding to Solute carrier family 25 member 24 (**SLC25A24**), a mitochondrial transporter protein. Unlike the functional SLC25A24 gene, which encodes an ATP-Mg/Pi carrier involved in mitochondrial energy metabolism[1][2][6], the pseudogene by definition does not encode a functional protein and is not involved in known biological or pathological processes. Pseudogene entries are typically remnants of gene duplication or retrotransposition events and are generally not regarded as therapeutic targets, diagnostic markers, or contributors to protein function. **Key notes:** - The canonical, functional gene is **SLC25A24** (Solute carrier family 25 member 24)[1][2][6], not this pseudogene locus. - The gene symbol ENSG00000283354 refers specifically to a pseudogene according to Ensembl and related bioinformatic conventions. - Pseudogenes should not be confused with the functional protein-coding genes of the same family; for research or therapeutic purposes, use the protein-coding SLC25A24 gene instead. **If you intended to request information for the functional protein-coding gene SLC25A24, please clarify, as the pseudogene itself is not biologically or pharmacologically relevant as a target[1][2][6].**
