Solute carrier family 35 member E1 pseudogene 1 (SLC35E1P1)

Solute carrier family 35 member E1 pseudogene 1 (SLC35E1P1) is a genomic sequence in humans that closely resembles the solute carrier (SLC) transporter gene family but does not produce a functional protein. SLC35E1P1 is annotated as a pseudogene, so it is neither a functional transporter nor a member of the SLC35 family capable of solute transport activity. No biological function, transporter activity, or disease association has been attributed to SLC35E1P1 in the scientific literature[1][7]. Pseudogenes, in general, may sometimes act as microRNA decoys or affect gene regulation, but such a role for SLC35E1P1 has not been reported[3]. SLC35E1P1 does not refer to a functional target protein or receptor suitable for pharmacological modulation or therapeutic targeting[1][7]. The use of SLC35E1P1 as a molecular target is incorrect because it is a pseudogene, not a protein-coding gene.
