Suppression of tumorigenicity 13 (colon carcinoma) (Hsp70 interacting protein) pseudogene 3 (ST13P3)

ST13P3 is a processed pseudogene located at human chromosome 12q23.3 (genomic coordinates 12:106015897-106017006)[2]. It is named for its sequence similarity to the ST13 gene, which encodes the Hsp70 interacting protein (Hip), a co-chaperone involved in protein folding, but ST13P3 itself does not produce a functional protein and has no established biological function or disease relevance[2][6][7][8]. If you are looking for a true therapeutic target, such as the functional parent gene ST13 ("Suppression of tumorigenicity 13"), this encodes the Hsp70 interacting protein (Hip), which acts as a co-chaperone in protein folding and has been investigated in the context of cancer biology, among other processes[4][9]. However, ST13P3 is a non-functional pseudogene with no current relevance as a therapeutic target.

None documented for therapeutic agents, as it is not a protein-coding target
