RAB11 family interacting protein 1 pseudogene 1 (RAB11FIP1P1)

RAB11 family interacting protein 1 pseudogene 1 (RAB11FIP1P1) is a human pseudogene, meaning it is a nonfunctional segment of DNA that resembles the functional gene RAB11 family interacting protein 1 (RAB11FIP1), but lacks the ability to produce a functional protein product[4][6]. Pseudogenes result from gene duplication or retrotransposition and typically acquire mutations that disable their function as genes[6]. RAB11FIP1P1, like other pseudogenes, does not encode a functional protein and is not a molecular target for therapeutics or drugs[4][6]. It is sometimes referenced in cancer genomics (such as prostate cancer), but only as a genomic region or reference—there is no evidence it serves a functional role or is targeted in therapy[4]. Note: - This molecule is a pseudogene, not a functional protein, receptor, enzyme, transporter, or known drug target[4][6]. - Any functional annotation applies to its parental gene (RAB11FIP1), not this pseudogene. - It is frequently misidentified as a potential target, especially in high-throughput or automated datasets—this is an error[6]. Summary assessment: RAB11FIP1P1 is a canonical pseudogene, not a therapeutic or molecular target, and entries describing it as such are incorrect or result from annotation errors[4][6].
