Coactivator associated arginine methyltransferase 1 pseudogene 1 (CARM1P1)

Coactivator associated arginine methyltransferase 1 pseudogene 1 (CARM1P1) is a non-functional pseudogene found in the human genome. Unlike its related functional gene, coactivator-associated arginine methyltransferase 1 (CARM1/PRMT4), CARM1P1 does not encode an enzyme and cannot serve as a drug target or act in cellular processes. It is annotated in genomic databases as a pseudogene, meaning it is a DNA sequence similar to a known gene but with mutations or deletions that prevent it from expressing a functional protein[3]. There is no evidence supporting its involvement in biological functions, disease pathways, therapeutic modulation, or biomarker utility.\n\nIf you are interested in the functional target, CARM1 (Coactivator-associated arginine methyltransferase 1, also known as PRMT4), this is an enzyme involved in histone modification and gene expression regulation, with roles in cancer and transcriptional modulation[1][2][4][5]. However, CARM1P1 is not a synonym or alternative for CARM1, but rather a distinct, non-functional pseudogene.
