SYNCRIP pseudogene 1 (SYNCRIPP1)

**SYNCRIP pseudogene 1 (SYNCRIPP1)** is a human pseudogene, classified as a transcribed pseudogene. Pseudogenes are genomic sequences similar to known genes but are non-functional due to disruptive mutations, often acquired through gene duplication or retrotransposition[1][2][3][6]. While some pseudogenes can be transcribed and have regulatory effects as non-coding RNAs[6], there is currently no evidence that SYNCRIPP1 acts as a protein-coding gene or exerts a functional regulatory role, nor is it considered a therapeutic target. No links to specific disease relevance or drug interactions have been documented. The canonical gene SYNCRIP is a functioning protein-coding gene involved in RNA binding, but SYNCRIPP1 is not known to encode protein or serve as a druggable target. **Key points:** - SYNCRIPP1 is not a drug target, receptor, enzyme, or similar molecule, but a non-coding pseudogene[1][2][3][6]. - No evidence exists for involvement in human disease or drug interaction. - If a target is required for therapeutic purposes, canonical "SYNCRIP" (not SYNCRIPP1) should be considered, but these are distinct entities. This entry is not a therapeutic target and its use as such would be incorrect.
