Cytoskeleton associated protein 2 like pseudogene 1 (CKAP2LP1)

Cytoskeleton associated protein 2 like pseudogene 1 (CKAP2LP1) is a pseudogene, meaning it is a segment of DNA that closely resembles the functional gene CKAP2L but contains disabling mutations that prevent it from encoding a functional protein product[5][7]. Pseudogenes such as CKAP2LP1 may arise from gene duplication or other mutational events and are typically non-functional relics of evolutionary history. While the parent gene CKAP2L encodes a protein involved in mitotic spindle formation and is associated with various biological and disease roles—especially in cancer biology—the pseudogene CKAP2LP1 does not serve as a therapeutic target or have a known biological function[5][7][3].
