Zinc finger protein 652 pseudogene 1 (ZNF652P1)

Zinc finger protein 652 pseudogene 1 (ZNF652P1) is a pseudogene in the human genome related to the "zinc finger protein 652" gene family. Pseudogenes are genomic DNA sequences similar to normal genes but non-functional; they typically do not encode a protein and are not involved in therapeutic targeting. ZNF652P1 has no known biological or disease function and is not considered a target for drug development[1][4].\n\nKey clarification:\n- ZNF652P1 is often confused with ZNF652 ("zinc finger protein 652"), which is a protein-coding gene with functions as a transcriptional repressor and disease roles in cancer[2][3][9]. This query, however, explicitly refers to the pseudogene, which does not encode a functional protein.\n\nIf you intended to ask about the functional gene ZNF652 (and not ZNF652P1), please specify, as that entity is a transcription factor and potential cancer biomarker/research target[2][3][9].
