DEAD-box helicase 5 pseudogene 1 (DDX5P1)

DDX5 pseudogene 1 (DDX5P1) is a nonfunctional, genomic relic of the DEAD-box helicase 5 (DDX5) gene. Unlike the true DDX5 gene, which encodes a multifunctional DEAD-box RNA helicase involved in RNA metabolism, transcriptional regulation, splicing, DNA repair, and cancer biology[1][2][3][4][5][6][7], DDX5P1 itself does **not produce a functional protein** and has *no known biological activity* or direct disease association. Pseudogenes such as DDX5P1 are characterized by their inability to encode active molecules and serve mainly as markers of gene family evolution or, in rare cases, as regulators through non-coding RNA mechanisms. There are **no established drugs, clinical biomarkers, or therapeutic roles associated with DDX5P1**, and it is not considered a receptor, enzyme, or other druggable target.\n\n> **Note:** \nYour query references a pseudogene, not the actual functional DDX5 gene. If you intended to refer to the functional protein **DEAD-box helicase 5 (DDX5)**, this is a well-established RNA helicase and therapeutic target implicated in multiple cancers, with characterized interactions and biological roles[1][2][3][4][5][7]. However, **DDX5P1** itself should not be classified as a drug target, and entries describing enzymatic, receptor, or disease-related functions pertain **only to the functional DDX5 gene**, not its pseudogene.
