Peptidylprolyl isomerase A pseudogene 31 (PPIAP31)

Peptidylprolyl isomerase A pseudogene 31 (PPIAP31) is a human pseudogene related to peptidylprolyl isomerase A (PPIA, cyclophilin A)[6][1]. Pseudogenes are DNA segments similar to functional genes but typically lack protein-coding ability due to disabling mutations[4]. Most pseudogenes do not encode active proteins but may sometimes have regulatory functions at the RNA level, such as acting as microRNA decoys or competitive endogenous RNAs in rare cases[2][4]. There is currently no evidence that PPIAP31 is involved in any specific biological function, disease, or therapeutic target activity.\n\nNote: PPIAP31 is distinct from PPIA, the functional protein involved in inflammation, apoptosis, cell signaling, and as a target of immunosuppressant cyclosporine[3][7]. If seeking information about a therapeutic target, refer to \"Peptidylprolyl isomerase A\" (PPIA/Cyclophilin A)[3][7].
