Aconitase 2 pseudogene 2 (ACO2P2)

ACO2P2 is a pseudogene related to the ACO2 (aconitase 2, mitochondrial) gene, which encodes the enzyme aconitase 2 that is critical for the TCA (tricarboxylic acid) cycle in mitochondria[1][3][4]. Pseudogenes such as ACO2P2 do not usually produce functional proteins. They arise from duplication or retrotransposition events and typically lack biological activity or direct therapeutic relevance. There is no documentation that ACO2P2 encodes an active enzyme, serves as a drug target, or has disease associations, though some pseudogenes can act as non-coding RNA regulators[1][3][4]. **Clarification:** - There is nothing inherently "incorrect" about the existence of this pseudogene, but it should not be listed as a therapeutic target or functional protein-coding gene. If the intent is to find a true target, the canonical enzyme is "Aconitase 2, mitochondrial" (ACO2)[1][3][4]. - If you meant to refer to the active enzyme, use "Aconitase 2, mitochondrial" or its abbreviation "ACO2". **Summary:** ACO2P2 is a non-coding pseudogene. It is not a receptor, enzyme, transporter, or recognized therapeutic target, and has no direct functional, disease, or drug interaction data in the literature. If you need data on the functional aconitase, refer instead to "Aconitase 2, mitochondrial" (ACO2).
