RAB9B, member RAS oncogene family pseudogene 1 (RAB9BP1)

RAB9BP1 is classified as a **pseudogene** derived from the RAB9B gene and does not encode a functional protein[3]. Pseudogenes are typically DNA sequences similar to known genes but lack coding ability due to mutations or deletions. The functional protein-coding gene is **RAB9B, member of the RAS oncogene family**, which encodes a small GTPase involved in *intracellular membrane trafficking*, particularly in late endosome to trans-Golgi transport, but **RAB9BP1 itself is not functionally active and has no known therapeutic, biological, or disease-associated roles**[3]. **Additional clarification:** - The functional gene *RAB9B* (not the pseudogene RAB9BP1) is involved in GTP binding and GTPase activity, with roles in vesicle and protein transport, and it is being studied in cancer but **RAB9BP1** is not functionally relevant[1][5][6][7]. - If the query intended a protein-coding target, the correct entry would be **RAB9B, member RAS oncogene family**—abbreviated as **RAB9B**—which is a small GTPase and potential cancer biomarker, whereas RAB9BP1 (the pseudogene) is generally not considered in pharmacological or mechanistic contexts[2]. **Summary:** **RAB9BP1** is a pseudogene and **not a protein-coding therapeutic target**. If you are seeking information about the protein-coding RAB9B (not the pseudogene), you should refer to data for "RAB9B, member RAS oncogene family" (RAB9B), a small GTPase involved in membrane trafficking and potentially implicated in cancer progression[2][5][6][7].
