CDC28 protein kinase regulatory subunit 1B pseudogene 4 (CKS1BP4)

CDC28 protein kinase regulatory subunit 1B pseudogene 4 (CKS1BP4) is a processed pseudogene in the human genome that shares sequence similarity with the functional CKS1B gene, which encodes a CDK regulatory protein important for cell cycle progression[1][6][7][8]. CKS1BP4 itself does not appear to produce protein, and no biological function or disease association has been firmly established for this locus. As with other processed pseudogenes, there is theoretical potential for regulatory function at the RNA level (such as miRNA sponging), but such roles have not been demonstrated for CKS1BP4 specifically[4][10]. Key facts: - CKS1BP4 is distinct from CKS1B, the latter being a functional gene encoding a cell cycle regulatory protein[12]. - No evidence suggests CKS1BP4 is a receptor, enzyme, transporter, or transcription factor. - There are no reported drugs, biomarkers, or clinical safety concerns related to CKS1BP4. If searching for the functional cell cycle regulator, see "CDC28 protein kinase regulatory subunit 1B" (CKS1B), not CKS1BP4.
