3-oxoacid CoA-transferase 2 pseudogene 1 (OXCT2P1)

3-oxoacid CoA-transferase 2 pseudogene 1 (OXCT2P1) is a pseudogene related to the 3-oxoacid CoA-transferase 2 gene. While the parental gene (OXCT2, encoding 3-oxoacid CoA-transferase 2) catalyzes the transfer of CoA from succinate to acetoacetate and is crucial in ketone body catabolism, OXCT2P1 is a non-coding pseudogene and does not produce a functional enzyme[3][4][6][8]. No protein product or known biological or disease role, nor therapeutic relevance, is currently attributed to OXCT2P1. It is listed for genomic annotation purposes and not as a drug target. OXCT2P1 and its aliases refer to a pseudogene, not an active receptor, enzyme, or transporter. Pseudogenes are typically non-functional remnants of genes and do not produce functional proteins or serve as drug targets. The functional gene in this family, OXCT2 (3-oxoacid CoA-transferase 2), is involved in ketone body metabolism, but its pseudogene (OXCT2P1) has no evidence of protein-coding function or disease/molecular role[3][8]. No known drugs, mechanisms of action, or biomarkers are associated with OXCT2P1. It is not considered a therapeutic target, and the entry is scientifically \"incorrect\" for drug targeting purposes[3][8].
