Ubiquitin specific peptidase 17 like family member 14, pseudogene (USP17L14P)

Ubiquitin specific peptidase 17 like family member 14, pseudogene (USP17L14P) is a human pseudogene related to the USP17 family of deubiquitinating enzymes[3][5]. Pseudogenes are nonfunctional segments of DNA that resemble functional genes but are generally incapable of encoding functional protein products and do not contribute direct biochemical activity such as catalysis or binding[6]. As a pseudogene, USP17L14P lacks demonstrated biological function, is not regarded as a molecular target such as a receptor, enzyme, or transporter, and there are no known drugs, biomarkers, or disease roles directly associated with it. However, pseudogene profiling has been used in research to study cancer subtype classification and other areas of genomics, though USP17L14P specifically is not described as a functional biomarker or disease modifier in current literature[2].
