UFC1 pseudogene 1 (UFC1P1)

UFC1 pseudogene 1 (UFC1P1) is a non-coding, inactive genomic sequence homologous to the UFC1 gene but does not produce a functional protein. Pseudogenes such as UFC1P1 arise from gene duplication or mutation events and may have sequence similarity to their parent genes but lack typical gene function. Although most pseudogenes do not contribute directly to disease or serve as therapeutic targets, they can bear relevance in genomics studies due to their presence, evolutionary origin, or potential regulatory impact on functional genes. UFC1P1 should not be confused with UFC1 (Ubiquitin-fold modifier conjugating enzyme 1), which is a protein-coding gene active in ufmylation and implicated in human physiology and disease.
