Chemokine (C-C motif) receptor 12, pseudogene (CCR12P)

Chemokine (C-C motif) receptor 12, pseudogene (CCR12P) is listed in genome databases as a pseudogene with sequence similarity to G protein-coupled chemokine receptors, specifically the family of C-C motif chemokine receptors. Despite its annotation as a chemokine receptor pseudogene, it does not encode a functional protein and has no direct biological function, disease role, or pharmacological relevance. It is related by homology to the chemokine receptor protein family, but loss of coding potential means it is not considered a receptor or therapeutic target[4]. No available scientific data indicate CCR12P acts as a receptor, is involved in any signaling process, or plays a role in human disease. All functional, biological, and disease associations for the "C-C motif chemokine receptor" family apply to genuine coding members, not to pseudogenes such as CCR12P[4].
