Transcription elongation factor A (SII)-like 8 pseudogene 1 (TCEAL8P1)

TCEAL8P1, or transcription elongation factor A (SII)-like 8 pseudogene 1, is a pseudogene found on chromosome 3 (chr3:66622760-66623102, human genome hg38). As a pseudogene, it does not encode a functional protein product and is not considered a canonical molecular target for drugs, diagnostics, or therapeutics. Pseudogenes closely resemble functional genes (such as TCEAL8, which codes for a protein involved in transcription regulation), but due to mutations, deletions, or insertions, they are not translated into functional proteins. While some pseudogenes in general may influence biological processes by acting as competing endogenous RNAs or mediating regulatory effects, there is currently no evidence that TCEAL8P1 itself is functional or disease-associated. It is not considered a therapeutic target, receptor, enzyme, transporter, or transcription factor.
