THAP domain containing 12 pseudogene 4 (THAP12P4)

THAP domain containing 12 pseudogene 4 (THAP12P4) is a human pseudogene, meaning it resembles a protein-coding gene but is generally considered non-functional due to accumulated mutations or lack of expression. It is listed in genetic databases under identifiers such as HGNC: 39568 and NCBI Gene: 100129382[3]. There is no evidence that THAP12P4 encodes a protein, nor is it associated with known molecular functions, biological processes, or therapeutic targeting. It is important not to confuse THAP12P4 with its parent or related gene, THAP domain containing 12 (THAP12), which is a protein-coding gene involved in DNA binding and cellular growth regulation[4][6]. The pseudogene designation and absence of functional annotation mean THAP12P4 is not a receptor, enzyme, or other validated biological target.
