Chondroitin sulfate proteoglycan 4 pseudogene 2, Y-linked (CSPG4P2Y)

Chondroitin sulfate proteoglycan 4 pseudogene 2, Y-linked (CSPG4P2Y) is a gene classified as a pseudogene found on the Y chromosome (Yq11.23), with genomic coordinates Y:24,183,433-24,187,231[1][5]. Pseudogenes like CSPG4P2Y typically do not encode functional proteins and have no known biological activity or role as a therapeutic target. CSPG4P2Y should not be confused with the functional CSPG4 gene, which encodes the melanoma-associated chondroitin sulfate proteoglycan involved in cell proliferation, migration, and tumor progression; CSPG4P2Y, however, does not share these properties and is not considered a protein-coding gene[1][5].
