reticulocalbin 1 pseudogene 1 (RCN1P1)

RCN1P1, or reticulocalbin 1 pseudogene 1, is a non-functional, non-protein-coding DNA segment in the human genome related by sequence to the *Reticulocalbin 1* gene[4]. As a pseudogene, it does not produce a biologically active protein and is not considered a molecular drug target. Most relevant literature and biomedical interest is tied to the parent gene/protein, Reticulocalbin 1 (RCN1), which is a calcium-binding protein in the endoplasmic reticulum associated with protein folding and has emerging roles as a biomarker or possible therapeutic target in clear cell renal cell carcinoma[2][4]. If you are seeking information relevant to molecular targets for drug discovery or therapeutic development, the appropriate entry is "Reticulocalbin 1" (RCN1), not its pseudogene RCN1P1. Pseudogenes like RCN1P1 are generally not suitable for such roles since they do not produce functional proteins[4][5].
