C9orf78 pseudogene 2 (C9orf78P2)

C9orf78 pseudogene 2 (C9orf78P2) is a gene classified as a pseudogene, meaning it is a non-functional genomic DNA sequence similar to the functional C9orf78 gene, but does not produce a functional protein product[3][5]. While some pseudogenes may have regulatory roles at the RNA level, there is currently no evidence that C9orf78P2 has biological functions or is implicated in human disease[3][5]. It is not considered a receptor, enzyme, transporter, or other classical molecular target class. No disease associations, drug interactions, or known mechanisms of action have been reported for this gene[3][5]. Consequently, it is not a therapeutic target.\n\n- The canonical, functional gene is C9orf78, which encodes a protein involved in RNA splicing and chromosome segregation[1][2][8].\n- The pseudogene C9orf78P2 should not be confused with the protein-coding gene and does not have the functional, therapeutic, or biomarker relevance of its parent gene.\n\nIf you are seeking information about the functional C9orf78 gene, which is a spliceosomal regulator, see C9orf78 (Chromosome 9 Open Reading Frame 78)[1][2][8].
