ATP synthase peripheral stalk-membrane subunit b pseudogene 2 (ATP5PBP2)

ATP5PBP2 (ATP synthase peripheral stalk-membrane subunit b pseudogene 2) is a pseudogene related to the gene encoding the b subunit of the mitochondrial ATP synthase peripheral stalk. While the b subunit itself is an essential structural element of mitochondrial ATP synthase—helping form the proton channel and supporting the stator to allow ATP synthesis via oxidative phosphorylation—the ATP5PBP2 locus does not encode a functional protein and has no established roles as a biological mediator, disease gene, or therapeutic target. In summary, ATP5PBP2 is a pseudogene, not an active molecular target. It is not considered a therapeutic target as it does not code for a functional protein. Relevant information about functional b subunit roles apply to the true gene (e.g., ATP5PB), but not to this pseudogene entity.
