KH domain containing 1 pseudogene 1 (KHDC1P1)

KH domain containing 1 pseudogene 1 is a non-coding pseudogene located on chromosome 6q13, labeled KHDC1P1, and does not encode a protein. Pseudogenes are genomic elements that resemble protein-coding genes but contain mutations (such as early stop codons or frameshifts) rendering them non-functional. KHDC1P1 is one of several pseudogenes related to the KH domain containing gene family, but it has no reported biological activity, disease relevance, or clinical targeting utility. Its genomic annotation may help with evolutionary studies, transcriptome analyses, or mapping errors, but it is not suitable as a molecular drug target. This entry should not be used in drug development, target validation, or disease association studies. Any references to KHDC1P1 as a therapeutic target, biomarker, or functional protein are incorrect and likely reflect bioinformatic annotation errors or database misinterpretations. The correct functional member of the family is KHDC1 (KH domain containing 1, a protein-coding gene). KHDC1L (KH domain containing 1 like) is another member, also protein coding. Pseudogene entries do not encode proteins or have actionable biological functions.
