Axin 2 pseudogene

The axin 2 pseudogene is a nonfunctional genomic locus related to the AXIN2 gene, lacking coding capacity for a protein product. Pseudogenes like this may retain sequence homology to the parent gene but are generally not transcribed or translated into a functional protein and are not considered druggable or therapeutic targets[3]. Any references to “axin 2 pseudogene” as a target are likely due to confusion with the true therapeutic target, Axis inhibition protein 2 (AXIN2). If research advances show a unique function for this specific pseudogene beyond current scientific knowledge, the classification may change, but as of now, there is no evidence for active biological or therapeutic roles[3].
