T-complex 1 pseudogene 3 (TCP1P3)

T-complex 1 pseudogene 3 (TCP1P3) is a pseudogene related by sequence homology to the T-complex 1 (TCP1 or CCT1) gene, which encodes a subunit of the TRiC/CCT chaperonin complex involved in folding actin, tubulin, and other cytosolic proteins[4][7][9]. As a pseudogene, TCP1P3 does not produce a functional protein and is not considered a therapeutic receptor, enzyme, transporter, or drug target. Pseudogenes arise through duplication or retrotransposition and are generally transcriptionally silent, although in rare cases some may regulate gene expression at the RNA level; there is no evidence that TCP1P3 plays such a regulatory role[4][7]. Key context (distinguishing points, based on your schema): - TCP1/CCT1 is an important molecular chaperone, but TCP1P3 refers only to a nonfunctional, pseudogene variant[4][7]. - TCP1P3 is not recognized as a drug target, nor implicated in mechanisms of action, pathway modulation, or any drug interactions[4][7]. - This entry should not be used as a canonical or structured drug target due to its non-coding, pseudogenic nature. Note: If you intended information on the active gene/protein (e.g., "T-complex protein 1 subunit alpha" or "CCT1"), these are distinct functional molecules and should not be confused with TCP1P3[1][7].
