SLC39A1 pseudogene 1 (SLC39A1P1)

SLC39A1P1 is a pseudogene related to the functional gene SLC39A1 (solute carrier family 39 member 1), which encodes the zinc transporter ZIP1 and is relevant in zinc transport and homeostasis[1][2][3][4]. However, SLC39A1P1 itself is a non-coding, non-functional DNA sequence. It shares high sequence homology with SLC39A1 but does not produce a biologically active product, nor is it implicated as a receptor, transporter, or direct drug target. There are no reports of therapeutic targeting, druggability, or biomarker functions for SLC39A1P1 across authoritative gene and protein resources[1][2][3]. The functional transporter of interest in biology and pathology is SLC39A1 (ZIP1), not this pseudogene. If you are seeking information about an *active zinc transporter*, review data on **SLC39A1 (ZIP1)**, not SLC39A1P1[1][2][3][4]. Note: There is nothing to suggest SLC39A1P1 is relevant as a drug target or is anything other than a genomic pseudogene. The entry is likely incorrect for use in therapeutic databases or target-focused projects.
