Fatty acid binding protein 7 pseudogene 1 (FABP7P1)

Fatty acid binding protein 7 pseudogene 1 (FABP7P1) is a pseudogene related to the functional fatty acid binding protein 7 gene (FABP7)[1]. Pseudogenes are typically non-functional segments of DNA resembling genes but lacking protein-coding or gene-regulating activity. There is no evidence in the biomedical literature that FABP7P1 encodes a functional protein or serves as a therapeutic target, and it is not associated with direct biological functions, disease roles, or drug interactions. The relevant biologically active target is Fatty acid binding protein 7 (FABP7), not the pseudogene[1]. FABP7P1 should not be considered a druggable target or a molecule with clinical or research relevance beyond its relationship to the functional FABP7 gene. The entry likely represents a naming or annotation error if intended as a therapeutic target.
