Proteasome 26S subunit, ATPase 1 pseudogene 8 (PSMC1P8)

Proteasome 26S subunit, ATPase 1 pseudogene 8 (PSMC1P8) is a human pseudogene corresponding to the functional PSMC1 gene, which encodes a subunit of the 26S proteasome complex[1][2]. Pseudogenes like PSMC1P8 do not produce an active protein product and are generally regarded as non-functional remnants of gene duplication events. While the functional PSMC1 (not PSMC1P8) forms part of the proteasome ATPase family with crucial roles in protein degradation and cellular homeostasis, PSMC1P8 itself does not encode an enzyme or receptor and is not considered a therapeutic target[1][2]. No current evidence links this pseudogene to disease, drug response, or clinical function. If you are seeking information about the active, functional protein, refer instead to Proteasome 26S subunit, ATPase 1 (PSMC1), not PSMC1P8[3][5].
