Solute carrier family 7 member 5 pseudogene 1 (SLC7A5P1)

Solute carrier family 7 member 5 pseudogene 1 (SLC7A5P1) is a **pseudogene** of the L-type amino acid transporter 1 (LAT1, SLC7A5)[3][1]. Unlike functional members of the SLC7 family, SLC7A5P1 does not encode a protein with confirmed biological transporter activity[3]. It is classified as a non-coding genomic locus, and there is no evidence that it produces a functional protein or has a role as a drug target or biomarker. The locus may produce transcripts, but these do not translate into active transporter proteins or serve recognized biological functions[3][1]. Therefore, SLC7A5P1 is not considered a therapeutic target, nor does it have disease associations or known safety concerns typically attributed to active molecular targets. **Note:** The functional L-type amino acid transporter 1 (LAT1, SLC7A5), a different gene, is an important transporter involved in cancer and central nervous system drug delivery, but SLC7A5P1 itself is specifically a pseudogene and not a molecular target[3][1][4][2].
