Zinc finger protein 736 pseudogene 1, Y-linked (ZNF736P1Y)

Zinc finger protein 736 pseudogene 1, Y-linked (ZNF736P1Y), is a non-functional pseudogene located on the human Y chromosome. It is named for its homology to zinc finger proteins, a large gene family encoding transcription factors characterized by zinc finger DNA-binding motifs[1][3][4]. Unlike functional zinc finger proteins, which participate in gene regulation, ZNF736P1Y does not encode a functional protein and has no established role in biological processes, pathologies, or pharmacological targeting[3]. As a pseudogene, it does not serve as a therapeutic target or biomarker, nor is it associated with drug action or disease[3]. Note: This entry is specifically a pseudogene, not a gene encoding a functioning protein. Pseudogenes do not produce functional protein products and are generally not considered valid drug targets. Any confusion about its role or targeting is due to its similarity in name to functional zinc finger proteins. For structured databases, this should be flagged as a pseudogene, not a valid therapeutic target[3].
