Stress induced phosphoprotein 1 pseudogene 3 (STIP1P3)

Stress induced phosphoprotein 1 pseudogene 3 (STIP1P3) is annotated as a pseudogene in the human genome[4]. Pseudogenes are genomic loci resembling protein-coding genes but incapacitated by disabling mutations—such as frameshifts, premature stop codons, or loss of crucial regulatory elements—such that they do not encode functional proteins[1][2]. STIP1P3 is related to the parental gene STIP1, but does not produce a functional protein product. Pseudogenes, while generally non-functional, can sometimes have regulatory effects at the RNA level, such as acting as competing endogenous RNAs or influencing expression through sequence similarity, but there is no evidence that STIP1P3 is involved in such regulation or in human disease or as a drug target[4].

Not applicable; no drugs act on this pseudogene[4].
