Programmed cell death 6 interacting protein pseudogene 1 (PDCD6IPP1)

PDCD6IPP1 is a non-functional pseudogene related to PDCD6IP, a protein-coding gene involved in membrane fission events such as cytokinesis, endosomal sorting, and virus budding[1][3][4]. The pseudogene does not produce a functional protein and does not have a known direct biological, pathogenic, or therapeutic role. It is sometimes listed in genome annotation databases but should not be confused with PDCD6IP, which is a real molecular target protein. The *functional target* is PDCD6IP (ALIX), not PDCD6IPP1. **PDCD6IPP1** is a genomic sequence similar to PDCD6IP but does not encode a functional protein—thus, it is not a drug target nor involved in relevant cellular functions or pathologies. Listings or annotations of PDCD6IPP1 should be carefully distinguished from the functional gene/protein PDCD6IP in research and clinical contexts[1][3][4][5]. If you need information on PDCD6IP (the protein and actual therapeutic target), please specify; PDCD6IPP1 as a pseudogene is not itself a therapeutic, diagnostic, or functional molecular target.
