Tudor domain-containing protein 1 pseudogene (TDRD1 pseudogene)

Tudor domain-containing protein 1 pseudogene (ENSG00000248750) is a non-coding sequence in the human genome that shares sequence similarity with the functional Tudor domain-containing protein 1 (TDRD1) gene but does not produce a functional protein. Pseudogenes arise through processes such as gene duplication and mutation, leading to loss of coding potential[2]. This pseudogene does not perform the typical biological roles seen in functional Tudor domain-containing proteins, which are involved in epigenetic regulation, interaction with methylated histone residues, and genome stability[5][7]. The presence of pseudogenes can complicate genetic and transcriptomic analyses because of their similarity to functional genes, but they are not themselves considered drug targets or involved in disease mechanisms[6][2][3].
