ATP synthase H+ transporting mitochondrial F0 complex subunit c isoform 2 pseudogene

This entry encodes a **pseudogene** for subunit c of the mitochondrial F0 complex of ATP synthase (specifically isoform 2). Pseudogenes are nonfunctional gene copies often created by duplication or retrotransposition, typically with coding-sequence deficiencies (frameshifts, premature stop codons), and do not produce active proteins[2][4]. The functional version, ATP5MC2, is part of the mitochondrial ATP synthase proton channel, crucial for ATP generation by oxidative phosphorylation[3][1]. Pseudogenes like ENSG00000230820 may have regulatory roles in genome evolution or gene expression, but are not currently considered drug targets or relevant for direct disease associations[2][4].

None for this pseudogene. (Drugs targeting mitochondrial ATP synthase generally interfere with proton transport or ATP generation, but only for the active protein.)
