Chromodomain protein, Y-linked 23 pseudogene (CDY23P)

Chromodomain protein, Y-linked 23 pseudogene (CDY23P) is a pseudogene on the human Y chromosome. Pseudogenes are nonfunctional segments of DNA resembling functional genes but are generally not transcribed into functional proteins due to disabling mutations such as frameshifts or premature stop codons[8]. The CDY gene family, including functional members like CDY1 and CDY2, are involved in spermatogenesis and may be relevant to male infertility, but the specific member "CDY23P" is classified as a pseudogene and is non-functional[1][8]. Pseudogenes sometimes play minor roles in gene regulation at the RNA level (such as acting as miRNA decoys), but there is no current evidence that CDY23P fulfills such a role, nor is it a known therapeutic target or implicated in any disease[2][3]. There is nothing to suggest the entity "CDY23P" is a protein, receptor, or actionable therapeutic target; it is a non-coding, non-functional genomic sequence typical of Y chromosome pseudogenes[1][8]. If used as a target in a therapeutic or biomarker sense, this would be in error.
