TCEAL9 pseudogene 1 (TCEAL9P1)

**TCEAL9 pseudogene 1 (TCEAL9P1)** is classified as a pseudogene, specifically located on chromosome 20p13, and is assigned the HGNC ID 56943[6]. Pseudogenes are genomic DNA sequences similar to normal genes but are non-functional; they typically do not encode functional proteins and thus do not have direct biological functions, disease roles, nor are they therapeutic targets. TCEAL9P1 is related by sequence to the **TCEAL** (Transcription Elongation Factor A Like) family, suggesting a potential origin from genes involved in transcriptional regulation, but as a pseudogene, it has no known protein or RNA product with a defined biological role[3][6]. There are no reported interacting drugs, biomarker uses, or associated safety concerns. **Key points:** - **TCEAL9P1** is not a protein-coding gene and is not considered a therapeutic target[6]. - No evidence of biological function, disease relevance, or clinical application in humans as of current knowledge. - It should not be confused with the related functional gene **TCEAL9** (Transcription Elongation Factor A Like 9), which does encode a protein with a role in transcriptional regulation[4].
