Translin pseudogene

ENSG00000225898 is annotated as a **translin pseudogene**, lacking evidence of protein-coding capability[1]. Pseudogenes are genomic DNA sequences similar to normal genes but generally non-functional; the parental, functional Translin gene (TSN) encodes a DNA- and RNA-binding protein involved in genome stability, RNA interference pathways (as part of the C3PO complex), and cellular recombination events, but the pseudogene itself is not functional and not considered a druggable or therapeutic target in current biomedical frameworks[1][2][3]. Its utility is mainly limited to genomic studies, evolutionary biology, or potential regulatory RNA functions—not as a classical target in drug discovery. If you intended to query the functional “Translin”/TSN protein instead of the pseudogene, please specify, as these have different biological significance and implications.
