CANT1 pseudogene 1 (CANT1P1)

CANT1 pseudogene 1 (CANT1P1) is a human pseudogene related to the functional gene CANT1, which encodes the enzyme calcium-activated nucleotidase 1. Pseudogenes such as CANT1P1 do not code for functional proteins and have no known biological or therapeutic role. They are typically classified as non-coding genetic elements with sequence similarity to protein-coding genes but lacking coding potential due to mutations, insertions, or deletions[9]. As such, CANT1P1 is not considered a druggable or therapeutic target, and there is no evidence it is involved in disease pathology, drug interactions, or used as a biomarker. If you are seeking information on the functional protein/gene, you should refer to "Calcium-activated nucleotidase 1 (CANT1)", which encodes a calcium-dependent nucleotidase with roles in proteoglycan synthesis and has been implicated in various human diseases, but CANT1P1 itself is a non-functional pseudogene[1][2][5][6][7][9].
