CFAP53 pseudogene 1 (CFAP53P1)

CFAP53 pseudogene 1 (CFAP53P1, also called CCDC11P1) is a pseudogene located on human chromosome 5[1]. A pseudogene is a DNA sequence resembling a gene but typically nonfunctional due to mutations, lack of transcription, or inability to encode a functional protein. Unlike its parent gene CFAP53 (coiled-coil domain containing protein 11), which plays essential roles in cilia motility and sperm flagellum biogenesis, CFAP53P1 itself does not code for a protein and possesses no characterized biological function, molecular interactions, or disease roles. It is not considered a pharmacological or therapeutic target in biomedical research or drug discovery[1].\n\nIf you are seeking information about the functional gene or protein, the correct entity is CFAP53 (coiled-coil domain containing protein 11), which is a distinct and functionally active molecule involved in cilia and flagella biology[2][3]. Please clarify if you require information on the protein-coding gene instead.
