Tubulin beta 4B class IVb pseudogene 8 (TUBB4BP8)

Tubulin beta 4B class IVb pseudogene 8 (TUBB4BP8) is a human pseudogene located on chromosome X[2][3]. It is annotated as a non-coding pseudogene related to the TUBB4B gene, which encodes a β-tubulin isotype involved in microtubule assembly and cell cycle regulation[1][2][3]. However, TUBB4BP8 itself is not known to encode a functional protein or to have any established biological function, disease association, or therapeutic relevance. No evidence exists to support its direct involvement in cellular processes, drug interactions, or utility as a biomarker, and it is not considered a therapeutic target. The parent gene TUBB4B is involved in cytoskeletal organization, but TUBB4BP8 is a non-functional sequence derivative[2][3].
