Testis specific protein Y-linked 24, pseudogene (TSPY24P)

Testis specific protein Y-linked 24, pseudogene (TSPY24P) is classified as a **pseudogene** member of the TSPY gene family located on the human Y chromosome[3]. Pseudogenes do not encode functional proteins due to disruptions in their sequences (such as frameshifts or premature stop codons), and thus do not have a direct biological function or disease role as a protein-coding gene[3]. Consequently, TSPY24P is not regarded as a typical therapeutic target, receptor, or enzyme. Most functional research and disease associations relate to the **protein-coding TSPY paralogs**, not to pseudogene members like TSPY24P. No known drugs, biomarkers, or safety concerns are associated. In summary, TSPY24P is a non-functional, non-target pseudogene without evidence of being an active therapeutic target or key biomolecule. *Note:* The main functional and disease relevance in the TSPY family stems from the functional TSPY genes/proteins, not the TSPY24P pseudogene specifically[1][3][5]. If a functional TSPY gene is intended, further clarification would be required, as several TSPY paralogs exist with different biological impact.
