Dual specificity phosphatase 12 pseudogene 1 (DUSP12P1)

Dual specificity phosphatase 12 pseudogene 1 (DUSP12P1) is a pseudogene member of the dual specificity phosphatase family; pseudogenes do not encode functional proteins and are generally considered non-functional remnants of gene evolution. It is not an active enzyme, receptor, or therapeutic target, and thus lacks information on functional classifications, biological processes, disease roles, or drug interactions. DUSP12 (without the "P1") refers to the functional protein with phosphatase activity[3]. Critical clarification: The submitted target "DUSP12P1" is a pseudogene rather than a bona fide, protein-coding therapeutic target. If you intend to map a real, functional therapeutic target, you should use "Dual specificity phosphatase 12" (DUSP12), not DUSP12P1. The functional DUSP family members, such as DUSP1 or DUSP12, are indeed associated with MAP kinase signaling and human disease, but no such data applies to DUSP12P1 itself[1][3].
