Heparan sulfate 6-O-sulfotransferase 1 pseudogene 1 (HS6ST1P1)

Heparan sulfate 6-O-sulfotransferase 1 pseudogene 1 (HS6ST1P1) is a nonfunctional segment of DNA resembling the functional HS6ST1 gene, which encodes an enzyme responsible for adding sulfate groups to heparan sulfate polysaccharides[1][3][4]. Pseudogenes such as HS6ST1P1 do not encode active proteins and generally lack direct biological roles, regulatory effects, or established relevance in therapeutic targeting or biomarker development in human disease[4]. The functional counterpart, HS6ST1, is an enzyme important for heparan sulfate biosynthesis and developmental cell signaling, but the pseudogene serves primarily as a genomic relic without protein-coding or therapeutic target activities[1][3][4].
