THO complex 3 pseudogene

The THO complex 3 pseudogene (ENSG00000170089) is a nonfunctional genomic DNA sequence that resembles the functional gene encoding a subunit of the THO complex. Pseudogenes are remnants of genes that have accumulated disabling mutations and no longer produce active proteins. In general, pseudogenes can, in rare cases, influence gene regulation at the RNA level, but there is no specific evidence that the THO complex 3 pseudogene has such a role. The functional THO complex plays important roles in mRNA processing and export, but this pseudogene does not contribute to those activities. ENSG00000170089 (THO complex 3 pseudogene) is not a functional receptor, enzyme, transporter, or other typical therapeutic target. It is a noncoding, nonfunctional genomic element with no known clinical, therapeutic, or biomarker relevance.
