Chromosome 2 open reading frame 69 pseudogene 2 (C2orf69P2)

Chromosome 2 open reading frame 69 pseudogene 2 (C2orf69P2) is a processed human pseudogene related to the chromosome 2 open reading frame 69 (C2orf69) locus[8]. Pseudogenes such as C2orf69P2 usually arise via duplication or retrotransposition events but lack protein-coding function due to acquired mutations or lack of regulatory elements[4][2]. While some human pseudogenes can have roles in gene regulation at the RNA level, there is no evidence that C2orf69P2 is expressed or has function. It is not a protein, receptor, enzyme, or known drug target. The functional parent gene C2orf69, in contrast, encodes a protein loosely associated with mitochondria and is involved in neurodevelopmental and autoinflammatory syndromes; none of these properties extend to the pseudogene[1][8].
