Voltage dependent anion channel 1 pseudogene 3 (VDAC1P3)

VDAC1P3 is one of multiple processed pseudogenes related to the voltage-dependent anion channel 1 (VDAC1) gene in the human genome. It does not encode a functional protein product. Pseudogenes like VDAC1P3 may have minor regulatory effects through non-coding RNA in rare contexts, but VDAC1P3 is expressed at very low levels in a few tissues and has not been implicated in any disease or biological process. The parental gene, VDAC1, encodes a mitochondrial outer membrane channel involved in metabolic regulation and disease, but those functions do not apply to VDAC1P3[2][6][7].\n\nKey points:\n- VDAC1P3 is not a functional protein or drug target.\n- No known biological or disease relevance or biomarker role exists for VDAC1P3 at present.\n- Do not confuse VDAC1P3 with VDAC1, which is a mitochondrial ion channel and a target in multiple diseases.
