Pseudogene similar to part of Carboxypeptidase D (None)

This gene encodes a **pseudogene similar to part of Carboxypeptidase D (CPD)**. Pseudogenes are DNA sequences that resemble known genes but typically contain mutations, insertions, or deletions that prevent them from encoding a functional protein[1][9][7]. While some pseudogenes are transcribed and may regulate gene expression at the RNA level, the majority do not have characterized biological roles. ENSG00000231353 is homologous to the functional CPD gene—which encodes carboxypeptidase D, a regulatory B-type metallocarboxypeptidase involved in peptide hormone biosynthesis and protein processing[2][4][8]—but lacks functionality itself. There is no current evidence for any disease association, clinical utility, or role as a drug or biomarker target, and no interacting drugs are known.
