Heat shock protein family D member 1 pseudogene 14 (HSPD1P14)

Heat shock protein family D member 1 pseudogene 14 (HSPD1P14), also known as HSPD1-17P, is annotated as a **pseudogene** of the heat shock protein 60 (Hsp60) gene family[1]. A pseudogene is a **genomic DNA sequence similar to a gene but generally non-functional;** it does not encode a functional protein product and thus is **not a protein-coding gene, enzyme, receptor, or other classical drug target**[1]. There is no evidence supporting biological function, disease association, or druggability for HSPD1P14, distinguishing it from the functional gene HSPD1, which codes for mitochondrial chaperonin Hsp60[2][3][6]. HSPD1P14 should not be considered a therapeutic target. **Key notes:** - This entry refers to a **pseudogene**, not a functional protein or gene. - It carries sequence similarity to functional chaperonin genes but **does not have known biological functions, disease roles, or interactions with drugs or biomarkers**[1]. - If a druggable target is intended, the functional gene HSPD1 (Heat shock protein family D member 1, Hsp60) is biologically relevant, but HSPD1P14 is not[2][3][6]. - The presence of "pseudogene" and the absence of protein product, function, or disease role make this entry *incorrect* for most drug discovery, receptor, or biomarker queries.
