NFYB pseudogene 1 (NFYBP1)

NFYB pseudogene 1 (NFYBP1) is a genomic region in humans labeled as a **pseudogene** of the NFYB gene, which encodes the Nuclear transcription factor Y subunit beta. Pseudogenes are DNA sequences related to functional genes that have lost their protein-coding ability due to mutations or truncations[4][7]. NFYBP1 does not code for a functional receptor, enzyme, or protein, and is not considered an actionable molecular target in biomedical research or drug development. While some pseudogenes can exert regulatory functions at the RNA level—such as serving as antisense transcripts, small interfering RNAs (siRNAs), or competing endogenous RNAs (ceRNAs)—there is no specific evidence that NFYBP1 possesses such properties. Most experimental and clinical information relates to the actual NFYB gene, a subunit of a transcription factor involved in gene regulation and implicated in some disease contexts, not its pseudogene[1][2][3]. **Summary:** NFYB pseudogene 1 is a non-functional genomic sequence, not considered a therapeutic target; most molecular, pharmaceutical, or disease-related relevance pertains only to its parent gene, nuclear transcription factor Y subunit beta (NFYB), not to this pseudogene.
