TatD DNase domain containing 2 pseudogene 3 (TATDN2P3)

TATDN2P3 is a non-coding DNA sequence classified as a pseudogene related to the "TatD DNase domain containing 2" gene. Pseudogenes like TATDN2P3 resemble protein-coding genes in sequence but typically carry mutations, stop codons, or regulatory changes that prevent production of a functional TatD enzyme. While most pseudogenes are considered non-functional relics of evolution, recent research suggests that some pseudogene transcripts may regulate gene expression (for example, by acting as competitive endogenous RNAs or miRNA "sponges"). There is, however, no evidence in the scientific literature that TATDN2P3 plays any protein, enzymatic, receptor, or regulatory function relevant to disease, nor is it a therapeutic target.
