UFD1 pseudogene 1 (UFD1P1)

UFD1P1 is a pseudogene, not a protein-coding gene. It is named 'UFD1 pseudogene 1' and, as indicated by its classification as a pseudogene, it does not encode a functional protein product and has no established biological activity, disease relevance, or therapeutic utility. While the closely related protein-coding gene *UFD1* ("Ubiquitin recognition factor in ER-associated degradation 1") is involved in the ER-associated degradation (ERAD) pathway, cell cycle regulation, and is implicated in certain diseases such as T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia and DiGeorge syndrome[1][2][3], UFD1P1 provides neither a protein product nor known physiological or pathological function. Thus, it is not considered a therapeutic target. **Note:** There may be confusion between *UFD1* (a functional protein-coding gene and valid research/therapeutic target) and *UFD1P1* (a non-functional pseudogene)[1]. UFD1P1 itself does not fulfill criteria for a drug target and should not be listed as such.
