SPMIP3 pseudogene 1 (SPMIP3P1)

SPMIP3 pseudogene 1 (SPMIP3P1) is a human pseudogene, meaning it is a segment of DNA that resembles a functional gene but has lost its gene expression or protein-coding ability owing to mutations such as frame shifts or premature stop codons. While some pseudogenes are implicated in gene regulation or disease through mechanisms such as acting as microRNA decoys or producing noncoding RNAs, there is no evidence or functional annotation indicating that SPMIP3P1 plays such a biological role. The gene bears alternative names such as C1orf100P1 and is cataloged in gene databases, but it is not considered a therapeutic target, receptor, enzyme, or disease biomarker. No data indicate SPMIP3P1 is relevant in drug targeting, disease, or molecular diagnostics and there are no known interacting molecules or drugs. It is best classified simply as a processed or nonfunctional pseudogene.
