Phosphorylase kinase gamma subunit 1 pseudogene 1 (PHKG1P1)

Phosphorylase kinase gamma subunit 1 pseudogene 1 (PHKG1P1) is classified as a pseudogene in the human genome, related to the PHKG1 gene, which encodes the gamma catalytic subunit of phosphorylase kinase—a key enzyme in glycogen metabolism[4][7]. PHKG1P1 does not produce a functional protein, and its principal biological relevance, like other transcribed pseudogenes, may involve RNA-based regulatory roles such as acting as microRNA decoys or participating in competing endogenous RNA networks, modulating the expression of its ancestral gene or related pathways[2][3][5][9]. There is no evidence for direct involvement as a pharmacological or clinical target, and it is not implicated in any specific disease as a direct cause. No drugs are known to target this pseudogene, nor is it used as a biomarker. Its molecular classification is "Other" (pseudogene), and not as a receptor, enzyme, transporter, or transcription factor.
