Translocase of inner mitochondrial membrane 17 homolog A pseudogene

This entry refers to a pseudogene homologous to the active gene translocase of inner mitochondrial membrane 17A (TIMM17A). Pseudogenes are DNA sequences similar to genes but typically non-functional; they do not encode active proteins and are not the focus of direct therapeutic targeting. The functional TIMM17A gene encodes a subunit of the TIM23 complex, which is involved in importing proteins into the mitochondrial matrix. The Ensembl identifier ENSG00000223869 specifies a pseudogene, not the protein-coding TIMM17A gene (which is ENSG00000134375). If you need structured target information for drug discovery, refer to the functional TIMM17A gene and not to its pseudogene.
