Chromobox 1 pseudogene 4 (CBX1P4)

Chromobox 1 pseudogene 4 (CBX1P4) is a non-protein-coding pseudogene highly similar to the functional CBX1 (Chromobox homolog 1) gene, which encodes a member of the heterochromatin protein family involved in chromatin structure and epigenetic regulation. As a pseudogene, CBX1P4 does not produce a functional protein product and holds no known biological, disease, or therapeutic relevance[2][5]. This gene entry is sometimes referenced in database searches but is not considered a molecular target for drug development. If you intended a functional chromobox protein such as CBX1 (HP1 beta), that would be a distinct and relevant therapeutic target belonging to the "heterochromatin protein" family with established biological roles in gene reproduction, chromatin structure, and disease involvement (e.g., certain cancers)[3][5]. In that case, the canonical target name would be "Chromobox homolog 1 (HP1 beta)" or "Chromobox 1" (CBX1); CBX1P4 is a pseudogene related to but not functionally the same as CBX1.
