Azurocidin 1 pseudogene 1 (AZU1P1)

Azurocidin 1 pseudogene 1 (AZU1P1) is a non-functional genomic sequence related to the protein-coding gene AZU1 (Azurocidin 1). While AZU1 encodes an antimicrobial and monocyte chemotactic protein involved in innate immunity, host defense, and inflammation, AZU1P1 itself encodes no functional protein product and has no recognized biological, disease, or pharmacological function. It is not considered a protein, receptor, enzyme, or therapeutic target, and should not be confused with the functional Azurocidin 1 gene or protein[1][2][3][4][6][7]. Critical clarification: If you are seeking actionable information or potential as a therapeutic target, you likely meant to ask about Azurocidin 1 (AZU1), not its pseudogene AZU1P1. All recognized research, clinical associations, immune functions, and drug relevance pertain to AZU1, not to AZU1P1, which has no such significance.

None (no protein product)
