cell division cycle 37 pseudogene 1 (CDC37P1)

cell division cycle 37 pseudogene 1 (CDC37P1) is classified as a pseudogene, meaning it is a genomic DNA sequence similar to a known gene but generally non-functional—having lost its protein-coding potential or not being transcribed or translated into a functional protein. CDC37P1 shares sequence similarity with the functional CDC37 gene, which encodes a molecular chaperone involved in cell cycle regulation and signal transduction. However, CDC37P1 itself is not known to produce a functional protein or participate in any known biological pathways, disease processes, or drug interactions. It is not considered a therapeutic target, and its nomenclature should not be confused with the functional CDC37 gene[1]. CDC37P1 is a pseudogene, not a biologically active protein-coding gene, and is distinct from the clinically relevant molecular chaperone CDC37 (involved in protein kinase chaperoning and oncogenesis)[1]. No evidence supports its involvement as a therapeutic or diagnostic target.
