PLD5 pseudogene 1 (PLD5P1)

PLD5P1 (PLD5 pseudogene 1) is a processed pseudogene related to the *PLD5* gene (phospholipase D family member 5), located in the human genome[4]. Pseudogenes are DNA sequences similar to functional genes but typically do not encode functional proteins due to mutations, insertions, deletions, or regulatory changes that prevent normal gene expression or protein function[4]. While some pseudogenes have regulatory roles, PLD5P1 has no recognized protein-coding ability, no known biological or pathological function, and is not considered a therapeutic target.\n\nKey clarifications:\n- PLD5P1 is a pseudogene, not an enzyme, receptor, transporter, or transcription factor.\n- There is no current evidence of clinical or biological relevance, therapeutic targeting, or pathophysiological association for PLD5P1 specifically.\n- It should *not* be confused with PLD5, which is a protein-coding gene, although the function of PLD5 itself is also not well characterized in the context of pharmacology or therapeutics.\n\nSummary:\nPLD5 pseudogene 1 (PLD5P1) is a non-coding pseudogene lacking established function, disease association, or relevance as a therapeutic target[4]. If this entry was proposed as a therapeutic target, this is incorrect.
