SHISA5 pseudogene 1 (SHISA5P1)

SHISA5 pseudogene 1 (SHISA5P1) is a noncoding pseudogene related to the SHISA5 gene. Pseudogenes do not encode functional proteins and are not conventional therapeutic targets. Some pseudogenes are transcribed and may have a regulatory role through RNA (e.g., serving as miRNA decoys or influencing parental gene expression), but there is no evidence SHISA5P1 has such a role. Confusion may arise because the functional gene SHISA5 (Shisa family member 5) is involved in apoptosis and has potential importance in disease; however, SHISA5P1 itself is not a protein or receptor, is not a drug target, and lacks established biological or disease associations. If you are seeking information on a functional therapeutic target or receptor, you likely want the SHISA5 gene/product—not SHISA5 pseudogene 1.
