BCL2 interacting protein 3 pseudogene 1 (BNIP3P1)

*BCL2 interacting protein 3 pseudogene 1 (BNIP3P1)* is a human pseudogene and does not encode a functional protein. It is related by sequence similarity to the true *BNIP3* gene (*BCL2/adenovirus E1B 19 kDa protein-interacting protein 3*), which is a BH3-only pro-apoptotic member of the BCL2 protein family involved in cell death, autophagy, and cancer. However, BNIP3P1 itself does not produce a receptor, enzyme, or any product that can serve as a drug target. Any literature or database entries discussing roles in apoptosis, autophagy, or disease are specific to the functional gene *BNIP3* and not the BNIP3P1 pseudogene. If you are interested in the functional *BNIP3* protein, please specify, as BNIP3 is a recognized pro-apoptotic BCL2 family protein with experimentally characterized roles and potential as a disease biomarker and research target.
