C1GALT1 pseudogene 1 (C1GALT1P1)

C1GALT1 pseudogene 1 (C1GALT1P1) is a non-functional genetic sequence in the human genome that is homologous to the active C1GALT1 gene. It does not produce a protein product and is not involved in any known cellular processes, molecular functions, or human diseases. C1GALT1P1 serves primarily as an annotated pseudogene rather than an active participant in physiological or pathological mechanisms. Important distinction: The active gene, C1GALT1 (core 1 synthase, glycoprotein-N-acetylgalactosamine 3-beta-galactosyltransferase 1), is a crucial glycosyltransferase enzyme responsible for the formation of the core 1 O-glycan structure on glycoproteins, participating in O-glycosylation and cellular processes such as development, angiogenesis, and cancer progression[1][2][3][4][5]. C1GALT1 is implicated as a potential therapeutic target and studied in cancer, but this does not apply to its pseudogene, C1GALT1P1. If you are seeking information on the therapeutic target or enzyme "C1GALT1," please clarify, as C1GALT1P1 does not serve these biological roles.
