Transmembrane serine protease 11G, pseudogene (TMPRSS11GP)

Transmembrane serine protease 11G, pseudogene (TMPRSS11GP) is classified as a pseudogene. Pseudogenes are DNA sequences similar to known genes but usually do not encode functional proteins; therefore, TMPRSS11GP has no established biological function, disease implication, or role as a therapeutic target[3]. The TMPRSS gene family includes several protein-coding members (e.g., TMPRSS2, TMPRSS4) that are important drug targets and are involved in physiologically and pathologically relevant processes (including viral entry, cancer, and inflammation)[2][4]. However, TMPRSS11GP itself is a pseudogene and does not exhibit these functions. For any research, database queries, or structured data efforts, TMPRSS11GP should not be treated as a drug target or functional protein. If your interest concerns functional TTSPs involved in viral entry or disease, review protein-coding genes like TMPRSS2, TMPRSS4, or others in the TTSP family[2][4].
