Cytochrome P450 family 4 subfamily F member 23, pseudogene (CYP4F23P)

Cytochrome P450 family 4 subfamily F member 23, pseudogene (CYP4F23P), is a non-functional genomic sequence derived from the cytochrome P450 family 4 subfamily F member 23 gene. It belongs to the expansive cytochrome P450 (CYP) gene superfamily, which contains functional genes coding for enzymes involved in the metabolism of xenobiotics and endogenous substrates, as well as a large number of pseudogenes like CYP4F23P that have lost the ability to code for functional proteins through evolutionary processes. As a pseudogene, CYP4F23P has no known biological function, does not produce a protein, and has no established relevance as a drug target, biomarker, or disease gene[1][3][4][5][7]. Key clarifications: - Is_target: False. Not a therapeutic or pharmacological target, as it does not encode a functional receptor, enzyme, or transporter[3][4][5][7]. - Is_incorrect: True. CYP4F23P is not a functional molecular target; queries about its druggability, mechanisms, or disease relevance are based on a nonfunctional locus[3][4][5][7]. - Aliases: No widely used aliases beyond systematic nomenclature and database-specific codes[3]. Note: While the functional CYP4F family members (e.g., CYP4F2, CYP4F3) are enzymes with roles in fatty acid metabolism and potential pharmacological interest[2], CYP4F23P itself is classified specifically as a pseudogene, has no known product, and thus is not relevant for drug targeting or mechanistic studies[3][4][7].
