Keratin 17 pseudogene 1 (KRT17P1)

Keratin 17 pseudogene 1 (KRT17P1) is a genomic locus annotated as a pseudogene related to the protein-coding keratin 17 gene (KRT17). Unlike the functional KRT17 gene—which encodes a type I intermediate filament protein important for epithelial integrity, cell proliferation, wound healing, and tumorigenesis—the pseudogene KRT17P1 has no confirmed protein product or biological function. It is not referenced as a therapeutic target or biomarker in scientific or clinical literature. All disease association, therapeutic relevance, and mechanistic insights relate exclusively to the KRT17 gene and protein, not its pseudogene KRT17P1[1][2][4][5][7]. In summary, KRT17P1 is not a therapeutic target, does not encode a functional receptor/protein, and all known scientific/clinical information concerns its parent gene KRT17. If you intend to annotate a therapeutic target, use "Keratin 17" (KRT17).
