CDGSH iron sulfur domain 2 pseudogene

CDGSH iron sulfur domain 2 pseudogene is a non-functional genomic DNA sequence with high similarity to the functional gene encoding CDGSH iron-sulfur domain-containing protein 2 (CISD2), also called ZCD2[5]. It does not produce a functional protein product and therefore has no direct biological function, molecular activity, or disease association. Pseudogenes are not considered therapeutic targets[5].\n\nKey context & clarification:\n- Pseudogenes are by definition not drug targets: they do not produce active protein and have no known roles in biological pathways, disease, or as biomarkers.\n- The functional form, CDGSH iron-sulfur domain-containing protein 2 (CISD2), is relevant in mitochondrial regulation, autophagy, and may be involved in certain diseases[5]. However, the entry you provided refers to its pseudogene, not the active gene or protein.\n- There is nothing inherently "wrong" with the naming of this entry, but it is not a biologically meaningful target for therapeutic or research purposes—this is a critical distinction.\n\nIf you are interested in the functional protein (CISD2/CDGSH iron-sulfur domain-containing protein 2), please provide that gene (not a pseudogene) for structured drug target information[5][4].
