TPT1 pseudogene 13 (TPT1P13)

TPT1 pseudogene 13 (TPT1P13) is a non-protein-coding genomic segment resembling the parental TPT1 gene, which encodes translationally-controlled tumor protein (TCTP). Pseudogenes such as TPT1P13 do not produce functional proteins but may have subtle regulatory effects on the parental gene's function at the RNA level—such as acting as miRNA decoys, antisense RNAs, or competing endogenous RNAs (ceRNAs)—though no specific function or disease association is documented for TPT1P13 itself. TPT1P13 should not be considered a standard therapeutic target or receptor. If information is required on TPT1 itself, the protein-coding functional TPT1 (TCTP, tumor protein, translationally-controlled 1) gene is widely studied for roles in cell growth, apoptosis, cancer, and other pathways.
