AKR1C8P
Description
AKR1C8P, a pseudogene located on chromosome 10, is a non-functional copy of the AKR1C8 gene. While it does not produce a protein, AKR1C8P may exert regulatory effects on its functional counterpart through mechanisms like competing for transcription factors or microRNAs. Despite its pseudogene status, AKR1C8P has been linked to various biological processes and diseases.
