CENPB DNA-binding domains containing 2, pseudogene (CENPBD2P)

CENPB DNA-binding domains containing 2, pseudogene (CENPBD2P) is a human pseudogene located on chromosome 19q13.43, as referenced by its Gene ID 65996[1][3][5]. It is classified as a pseudogene, meaning it resembles a known gene but is typically non-functional and does not produce a functional protein product[1][6]. CENPBD2P has also been referred to by aliases such as RPL23AP79 and CENPBD1P1, and is associated with ribosomal protein L23a pseudogene 79 identifiers in some databases[6]. As a pseudogene, CENPBD2P does not encode a receptor, enzyme, transporter, or other actionable therapeutic target, and is not known to be involved in any specific biological functions or disease roles[1][6]. No drugs, mechanisms of action, biomarkers, or safety concerns are associated with this pseudogene. This gene should not be confused with functional genes related to centromere protein B (CENP-B), a DNA-binding protein critical for centromere structure and function[7][9]. The presence of "pseudogene" in its name and classification indicates it is not therapeutically actionable or a direct molecular target in drug discovery. Key clarifications: - CENPBD2P is a **pseudogene** (not a protein-coding gene or druggable target)[1][6]. - There is **no evidence** that it serves as a therapeutic target or has a defined role in disease or normal biological processes[1][6]. - If your intent was to find information about the functional protein CENP-B (centromere protein B), you should instead refer to the CENPB gene, which is functionally distinct from its pseudogene counterparts[7][9].
