Cilia and flagella associated protein 97 pseudogene 1 (CFAP97P1)

CFAP97 pseudogene 1 (CFAP97P1) is a human pseudogene corresponding to the protein coding gene CFAP97 (Cilia and Flagella Associated Protein 97), which plays roles in cilia and flagella function[1]. Pseudogenes, like CFAP97P1, are typically noncoding genomic sequences resembling functional genes but contain disabling mutations or lack regulatory elements, preventing protein production[5]. While most pseudogenes have no established biological function, growing evidence suggests some may have regulatory effects at the RNA level, acting as decoys for microRNAs or producing regulatory small RNAs, thus indirectly impacting expression of their parental genes or related pathways[2][5]. There is currently no evidence that CFAP97P1 has an established biological or clinical role, nor is it considered a direct therapeutic or diagnostic target. \n\n**Note:** Searching for "CFAP97P1" may occasionally yield information for the protein coding CFAP97 gene, but CFAP97P1 is distinct and does not code for a functional protein[1].
