Cation channel sperm associated 2 pseudogene 2 (CATSPER2P2)

CATSPER2P2 is a pseudogene, meaning it is a non-functional DNA sequence related to the active CATSPER2 gene, which encodes a sperm-specific voltage-gated calcium channel essential for sperm motility and male fertility[2][3][5]. CATSPER2P2, as a pseudogene, does not produce an active protein and is not involved in any known biological process, disease role, or drug interaction. In the human genome, the CATSPER2 gene is located on chromosome 15, and nearby duplicated regions encode paralogous pseudogenes, including CATSPER2P2[2][5]. CATSPER2P2 (CATSPER2 pseudogene 2) is a non-functional genetic element, not a drug target, and has no known biological or clinical role[2][3][5]. The confusion likely arises due to the close proximity and sequence similarity to CATSPER2, a protein of high therapeutic and biological relevance in male fertility, but pseudogene 2 itself is not the relevant target.
