Dynamin 1 pseudogene 31 (DNM1P31)

Dynamin 1 pseudogene 31 (DNM1P31; also known as DNM1DN4-2) is a predicted pseudogene in the human genome, related to the protein-coding gene DNM1 (Dynamin 1). DNM1P31 is not expressed as a functional protein and does not participate in biological processes such as signal transduction, endocytosis, or vesicle trafficking. Its presence is a result of evolutionary duplication events[2]. The functional gene DNM1 encodes a GTPase involved in membrane fission events and is relevant to neurological diseases and some cancer types[1][3][5], but DNM1P31 itself has no direct biological or pharmacological role. Summary of issues: - DNM1P31 is a pseudogene: It does not produce a functional protein and is not a therapeutic target[2]. - Not classified as a molecular target: It lacks drug, biomarker, and safety data. - Confusion risk: Scientific literature and drug development focus on *dynamin 1* (DNM1), not DNM1P31. For drug discovery or therapeutic targeting, you should refer to the canonical protein-coding gene **Dynamin 1** (*DNM1*), not **Dynamin 1 pseudogene 31** (*DNM1P31*)[1][2][5].
