Tetrapeptide repeat homeobox 1 pseudogene 1 (TPRX1P1)

Tetrapeptide repeat homeobox 1 pseudogene 1 (TPRX1P1) is a retrotransposed pseudogene belonging to the TPRX homeobox gene family. Unlike functional homeobox genes, which encode DNA-binding proteins that typically regulate early embryonic development, TPRX1P1 does not encode a functional protein and lacks biological or pathological activity. It is one of several TPRX family pseudogenes in humans, classified by genomic annotation as non-coding and non-functional, and does not serve as a therapeutic target or biomarker[1][3][5]. TPRX1P1 is not a therapeutic target as it is a pseudogene and does not encode a functional protein[1][3][5]. There is no evidence for a biological function, involvement in disease, or molecular interactions relevant for drug targeting or biomarker use[1][5]. TPRX1 (without the pseudogene suffix) is a functional gene, but TPRX1P1 specifically refers to a non-functional pseudogene[3][5].
