XK related, Y-linked pseudogene 3 (XKRYP3)

XK related, Y-linked pseudogene 3 (XKRYP3) is classified as a pseudogene located on the Y chromosome. Pseudogenes are nonfunctional genomic DNA segments that resemble known genes but typically contain mutations that prevent them from producing functional proteins[1][5][6]. While some pseudogenes can play regulatory roles, such as acting as decoys for microRNAs or sources of non-coding RNA, there is no current evidence indicating that XKRYP3 has any established physiological function, serves as a therapeutic target, or is involved in disease mechanisms[1][3][4][5]. The gene is not associated with any known interacting drugs or used as a biomarker. Its sequence is related to the XK/Kell blood group gene family but has lost coding potential[1][6].
