DBF4 pseudogene 1 (DBF4P1)

DBF4 pseudogene 1 (DBF4P1) is a non-functional genomic sequence that resembles the active DBF4 gene but does not encode a protein or participate directly in cell cycle regulation or DNA replication[4]. Pseudogenes like DBF4P1 may arise from duplication or retrotransposition events and often lack promoter activity or have disruptive mutations, rendering them transcriptionally incompetent. The DBF4 gene encodes a zinc finger protein that regulates the CDC7 kinase, playing a central role in DNA replication and cell division, but DBF4P1 itself does not participate in these processes[1][2][3][4]. If the intended target is the active DBF4 gene rather than the pseudogene, structured information should be provided for **DBF4-CDC7 kinase regulatory subunit (DBF4)**, not DBF4P1. If instead you specifically need pseudogene/repetitive sequence information, DBF4P1 is not considered a canonical molecular target for therapeutics or clinical research.
