01

Overview

“Transmembrane and tetratricopeptide repeat containing 4 pseudogene” (LOC729707, ENSG00000248560) is a genomic locus that corresponds to a nonfunctional copy of the TMTC4 gene. Pseudogenes are typically copies of protein-coding genes that have lost the ability to code for functional proteins due to mutations, truncations, or lack of proper regulatory elements[3][7]. LOC729707 is located on human chromosome 5[3], defined as a pseudogene of TMTC4. There is no evidence that LOC729707 encodes an active protein or fulfills a biological function, nor is it considered a therapeutic target.
