Solute carrier family 25 member 6 pseudogene

The "Solute carrier family 25 member 6 pseudogene" (LOC100422685; ENSG00000271339) is a pseudogene related to the SLC25A6 gene, which encodes a mitochondrial ADP/ATP translocase (adenine nucleotide translocator); pseudogenes do not produce functional proteins and are not considered drug targets[1][3][4]. There is no evidence it performs any biological function or disease role, is not targeted by drugs, and lacks a canonical abbreviation. Its only relevant classification is as a pseudogene, and not a transporter, receptor, enzyme or therapeutic target. **Key context:** - This entry is classified as a **pseudogene**, which by definition does not encode a functional protein and is not considered a valid therapeutic target[3][4]. - The functional gene (SLC25A6) is important in mitochondrial transport and apoptosis, but this does *not* apply to the pseudogene variant you queried; all gene function, pathway, or disease associations cited for "SLC25A6" do *not* apply to this pseudogene. - There are multiple related pseudogenes cataloged (e.g., SLC25A6P1, SLC25A6P4, SLC25A6P6)[2][4][5][6], all nonfunctional copies. - It is sometimes indexed under alternative locations or IDs, notably "LOC100422685" and "ENSG00000271339". - If you meant the **functional SLC25A6 gene (adenine nucleotide translocator 3)**, not the pseudogene, you should clarify, as that is a validated transporter protein and sometimes a therapeutic target in mitochondrial biology[3][7]. **This target is not suited for therapeutic targeting or structured data extraction except as a pseudogene (nonfunctional DNA locus).**
