Citrate synthase pseudogene 2 (CSP2)

Citrate synthase pseudogene 2 (CSP2) is a genomic element classified as a pseudogene—a DNA sequence resembling the functional citrate synthase gene but generally regarded as non-functional and not transcribed into a protein. Citrate synthase itself is a key enzyme in the citric acid (Krebs) cycle, crucial for energy metabolism in nearly all aerobic tissues[1][3][5][7], but CSP2 does not contribute to this process, nor is it considered a therapeutic target or biomarker. Pseudogenes such as CSP2 may arise from duplication events or retrotransposition but typically lack the elements necessary for protein production, and there is no evidence they play a role in disease or therapeutic responses. This target is not a functional receptor, enzyme, transporter, or therapeutic target. CSP2 is a non-functional pseudogene, not a druggable protein or biomolecule required in a structured target database for therapeutic information. Thus, "is_incorrect" is set to true for inclusion as a drug target.
