TOMM6 pseudogene 3 (TOMM6P3)

TOMM6 pseudogene 3 (TOMM6P3) is a pseudogene related to the protein-coding gene TOMM6, which encodes a component of the translocase of the outer mitochondrial membrane complex involved in mitochondrial protein import[1]. Pseudogenes are genomic loci that resemble functional genes but generally do not encode active proteins due to mutations or truncations; they often arise through gene duplication or retrotransposition events[7]. While some pseudogenes may have regulatory RNA-based functions (such as acting as competing endogenous RNAs, participating in epigenetic regulation, or affecting gene expression through various mechanisms), there is no literature or curated database evidence supporting a specific biological function, disease association, or pharmacological targeting for TOMM6P3[3][4][5][7]. Therefore, TOMM6P3 is not considered a canonical therapeutic target.

None (no evidence for direct pharmacological targeting; pseudogenes may act as miRNA sponges or via regulatory RNA networks in some cases, generally not targeted by drugs)
