Dynamin 1 pseudogene 5 (DNM1P5)

Dynamin 1 pseudogene 5 is a pseudogene related to the DNM1 gene, which encodes the functional protein dynamin-1. DNM1P5 does not appear to encode a functional protein itself and therefore does not serve as a therapeutic target, enzyme, receptor, transporter, or have characterized biological or pathological function. It is one of several highly conserved pseudogenes associated with the DNM1 gene found throughout the human genome, particularly on chromosomes Y and 15. As a pseudogene, DNM1P5 lacks the capacity to produce an active protein product and there is no evidence supporting a direct role in cellular signaling, regulatory functions, or disease processes. As such, it is not used in biomarker panels, is not a target for drug development, and its primary significance is as a genomic sequence related to the dynamin 1 gene. If you are searching for a protein-coding "dynamin 1" family member with known biological function and therapeutic interest, you likely meant dynamin-1 (DNM1) or its related protein-coding orthologs. The entry "Dynamin 1 pseudogene 5" (DNM1P5) is not a drug target and its inclusion in target lists is likely a mistake.
