Translin-associated factor X pseudogene (None)

Translin-associated factor X pseudogene (ENSG00000256221) is a nonfunctional copy of the gene encoding translin-associated factor X (TSNAX/TRAX). Pseudogenes like this are stretches of DNA with high sequence similarity to their parent genes but are unable to produce a functional protein due to disabling mutations such as frameshifts or premature stop codons[1][3]. While some pseudogenes may occasionally be transcribed or have regulatory roles, the majority—including this one—do not participate in cellular functions or drug interactions and are generally not considered therapeutic targets. The entry is distinct from the functional TSNAX/TRAX gene, which encodes a protein involved in microRNA degradation, synaptic plasticity, and DNA repair[2][6]. Key point: If you are seeking therapeutic or biological target information, the correct entry is the functional "Translin-associated factor X" (TSNAX/TRAX), not this pseudogene.
