Chaperonin containing TCP1 subunit 5 pseudogene 1 (CCT5P1)

Chaperonin containing TCP1 subunit 5 pseudogene 1 (CCT5P1) is classified as a **pseudogene** and does not encode a functional protein product[7][5][2][1]. It is related to the *CCT5* gene, which is part of the chaperonin containing TCP1 complex (TRiC), a molecular chaperone involved in ATP-dependent protein folding such as actin and tubulin[4][13]. However, *CCT5P1* itself is not functionally active and is not considered a therapeutic target, receptor, enzyme, transporter, or biomarker[7][5]. The term “pseudogene” indicates that it is a genomic DNA sequence similar to a gene but nonfunctional, generally due to mutations or truncations. **Notes:** - *CCT5P1* should not be confused with the functional chaperone protein *CCT5* or the larger chaperonin TCP1 complex. Information for *CCT5* or related pseudogenes (e.g., CCT5P2) should not be used in place of details for *CCT5P1* specifically[7][5][4]. - No evidence suggests *CCT5P1* is involved in disease, biological functions, or is targeted by drugs[7][5].
