Myosin VB pseudogene 1 (MYO5BP1)

Myosin VB pseudogene 1 (MYO5BP1) is a non-protein-coding genomic locus annotated as a pseudogene, meaning it is homologous to the functional myosin VB (MYO5B) gene but contains genomic alterations that prevent it from producing a functional protein. No evidence exists supporting biological activity, therapeutic relevance, or clinical utility for MYO5BP1. Pseudogenes like MYO5BP1 may sometimes participate in gene regulation at a non-coding RNA level, but no such data is published for this pseudogene. The primary functional gene in this family, *myosin VB (MYO5B)*, is involved in plasma membrane recycling and epithelial cell polarization, but this information does not apply to the pseudogene variant.
