Tubulin beta 4B class IVb pseudogene 1 (TUBB4BP1)

TUBB4BP1 is a pseudogene located in the human genome that bears high sequence similarity to TUBB4B, a protein-coding beta-tubulin gene. However, unlike TUBB4B, TUBB4BP1 does not encode a functional protein and is generally not transcribed or translated into a product with biological activity. Pseudogenes like TUBB4BP1 are remnants of gene duplication or retrotransposition events and are usually not associated with protein expression, drug interaction, or direct disease roles. The mouse ortholog is named Tubb4b-ps1. This gene should not be considered a valid molecular target in drug discovery, diagnostics, or therapeutic contexts. If you require information on the actual Tubulin beta 4B class IVb (TUBB4B), which is a protein-coding gene involved in microtubule structure and related biological processes (and is a potential disease-associated gene), refer instead to TUBB4B (HGNC 20771).
