Cytochrome P450 family 2 subfamily C member 59, pseudogene (CYP2C59P)

**Cytochrome P450 family 2 subfamily C member 59, pseudogene (CYP2C59P)** is a human gene classified as a pseudogene, meaning it is a DNA sequence similar to a functional gene but is non-functional and does not produce a functional protein product[1][3][5][7]. Unlike related cytochrome P450 genes (such as CYP2C9), CYP2C59P has no known enzymatic activity or role in drug metabolism or disease and is not considered a therapeutic target, receptor, enzyme, or clinically relevant biomolecule. It is not listed in gene-disease or drug-interaction databases and has no known biological or pharmacological function in human health or disease. **Key points**: - CYP2C59P is a pseudogene and does not encode an active protein or enzyme[1][3][5]. - It has no role in xenobiotic metabolism, pharmacology, or disease, unlike members such as CYP2C9[2][6][8]. - It is not a therapeutic or diagnostic target, and there are no known drugs, biomarkers, or safety considerations associated with this locus. **Note:** - The presence of "pseudogene" in the name and absence in drug/disease/functional databases indicate that this gene is non-functional—and referencing it as a therapeutic target is incorrect[1][3][5][7]. - Do not confuse CYP2C59P with functional cytochrome P450 family members such as CYP2C9, which is a major drug-metabolizing enzyme.
