Adiponectin receptor 1 pseudogene 2 (ADIPOR1P2)

Adiponectin receptor 1 pseudogene 2 (ADIPOR1P2) is a non-functional genomic DNA sequence with high similarity to the functional Adiponectin receptor 1 gene (ADIPOR1), but it does not encode a functional protein and is not considered a receptor or therapeutic target. It is annotated as a pseudogene, meaning it has lost its protein-coding potential through evolutionary processes, such as mutations or truncations. Pseudogenes are generally noncoding, can rarely regulate gene expression through RNA-based mechanisms, and may complicate genetic studies due to sequence similarity with their parent genes. There is no evidence for ADIPOR1P2 functioning in human biology or disease, nor is it a target for drug development.
