Proteasome 26S subunit, non-ATPase, 8 pseudogene 1 (PSMD8P1)

**Proteasome 26S subunit, non-ATPase, 8 pseudogene 1 (PSMD8P1)** is a human gene annotated as a pseudogene, meaning it is a genomic DNA sequence similar to a known functional gene (in this case, PSMD8, a component of the 26S proteasome), but is generally non-functional as a protein-coding gene. PSMD8P1 does not encode an active protein product and is not known to have any established biological or disease roles, drug interactions, or utility as a biomarker. Its sequence resembles that of the functional Proteasome 26S subunit, non-ATPase, 8, but it is not considered a therapeutic target or functional molecular entity. Its designation as a pseudogene is consistent across authoritative genomic databases[1][3][5][7][9][11].\n\nKey clarifications:\n- **PSMD8P1 is not a protein-coding gene, nor a therapeutic target, but a pseudogene.**\n- No known biological function, disease association, or drug interaction is attributed to PSMD8P1 as opposed to its functional analog, PSMD8[7][9][11].
