Centromere protein U pseudogene 2 (CENPUP2)

Centromere protein U pseudogene 2 (CENPUP2) is a noncoding DNA sequence in humans with high similarity to the functional "MLF1 interacting protein" gene (CENPU), but contains mutations or other changes preventing the production of functional centromere protein U. Pseudogenes are evolutionarily remnants derived from active genes and typically do not have a direct biological function but can sometimes play a role in gene regulation at the RNA level. There is no evidence that CENPUP2 is actively involved in cellular processes, disease mechanisms, or is a therapeutic target.\nIf your intent was to find information about the functional protein "Centromere protein U" (CENPU, also known as MLF1 interacting protein), refer to CENPU, not CENPUP2. CENPU is associated with centromere function, cell division, and has been implicated as a potential therapeutic target in cancer research, but CENPUP2 is a pseudogene and not a functional target.
