TPT1 pseudogene 12 (TPT1P12)

TPT1 pseudogene 12 (TPT1P12) is designated as a pseudogene related to the protein-coding gene Tumor Protein, Translationally-Controlled 1 (TPT1/TCTP), a gene involved in cell growth, proliferation, and apoptosis[1][3][5]. Pseudogenes such as TPT1P12 typically arise from duplication or retrotransposition of their progenitor gene and are generally considered non-functional due to mutations that prevent the expression of a full-length, active protein[4]. There is no evidence that TPT1P12 produces a functional protein or acts as a therapeutic target. No drugs, disease associations, or molecular interactions specific to TPT1P12 have been described in the biomedical literature or major gene/protein databases as of 2024. Note: Information found in gene databases and scientific sources focuses on TPT1 (a protein-coding gene with therapeutic/biological relevance), but TPT1P12 is a pseudogene with no established biological or therapeutic functions[1][3][4][5].
