Chaperonin containing TCP1 subunit 8 pseudogene 1 (CCT8P1)

Chaperonin containing TCP1 subunit 8 pseudogene 1 (CCT8P1) is a human pseudogene located on chromosome 1 and has sequence similarity to the protein-coding CCT8 gene, which encodes the theta subunit of the TRiC chaperonin complex. Unlike CCT8, CCT8P1 does not produce a functional protein and does not participate directly in cellular functions or act as a drug target. It has been annotated in gene databases, but pseudogenes such as CCT8P1 are generally considered non-functional genetic elements, often regarded as remnants of gene duplication or evolutionary processes. If your intent was to focus on a therapeutic or druggable target, note that CCT8P1 is not a valid molecular target; the functional homolog CCT8 is a protein-coding gene and member of the chaperonin complex involved in protein folding, but the information here applies specifically to the pseudogene CCT8P1.
