Ubiquitin specific peptidase 9, Y-linked pseudogene 23 (USP9YP23)
- Target
- USP9YP23
- Molecular classification
- Pseudogene, Non-coding RNA-derived, Other
01
Overview
USP9YP23 (ubiquitin specific peptidase 9, Y-linked pseudogene 23) is a pseudogene located on chromosome Y (chrY:17782210-17784815, hg38). It is related by sequence homology to USP9Y, a gene encoding a functional deubiquitinating enzyme required for male germ cell development. As a pseudogene, USP9YP23 does not encode an active protein and does not participate in established biological, disease, or pharmacological pathways. There are no known interacting drugs or clinical uses for USP9YP23; the entry may be mistakenly referenced when information about USP9Y is sought. USP9YP23 should not be confused with the protein-coding USP9Y gene. If a therapeutic or biological target is intended, USP9Y (not the pseudogene USP9YP23) is the correct gene, associated with deubiquitinase activity and male germ cell stability. The pseudogene has no established biological, pathological, or pharmacologic significance.

02
Mechanism of action
None (no known mechanism for drugs, as the gene does not encode a targetable protein)
03
Biological functions
None established (as a pseudogene, does not encode a protein; no confirmed functional role in the cell)
04
Disease associations
None established for USP9YP23; the true USP9Y gene is associated with male infertility and spermatogenic failure, but the pseudogene is not implicated
05
Safety considerations
None (pseudogenes do not present known therapeutic safety challenges; if misidentified, targeting could be ineffective)
06
Interacting drugs
None (pseudogenes are not therapeutic targets, and there are no drugs known to interact with USP9YP23)
07
Biomarkers
None established (pseudogene status precludes use as a biomarker)
