DEAD-box helicase 39B pseudogene 1 (DDX39BP1)

DEAD-box helicase 39B pseudogene 1 (DDX39BP1) is a pseudogene corresponding to the functional gene DEAD-box helicase 39B (DDX39B). It has the accession number 100048904 (NCBI Gene), and is also known as BAT1P1. As a pseudogene, DDX39BP1 is a non-functional genomic DNA sequence derived from a functional gene (DDX39B), and typically does not encode an active protein product or serve a direct biological function[2]. There is no evidence supporting that DDX39BP1 acts as a protein, receptor, enzyme, or other canonical druggable target. It should not be confused with its functional paralogue, DDX39B (also known as BAT1), which is an RNA helicase involved in pre-mRNA splicing and mRNA export[5][2]. Key clarification: DDX39BP1 is a pseudogene and not a protein-coding gene, nor a characterized therapeutic target. Relevant biological functions, disease roles, drugs, and associated mechanisms pertain to its functional gene (DDX39B/BAT1), not to DDX39BP1 itself[2][5].
