CMPK1 pseudogene 2 (CMPK1P2)

CMPK1P2 (CMPK1 pseudogene 2) is a non-coding genomic locus located on human chromosome 16 (chr16:89458870-89459437, hg38), annotated as a pseudogene because it carries sequence similarity to the functional CMPK1 gene but does not code for a protein and has no known enzyme activity or direct biological function. CMPK1P2 may sometimes be studied in contexts related to transcriptional regulation or ceRNA networks, but is not itself a molecular target for drugs, diagnostics, or therapies[3][7][9]. CMPK1 pseudogene 2 should not be confused with the functional CMPK1 (cytidine/uridine monophosphate kinase 1), which is an enzyme involved in nucleotide metabolism[1][5][6]. CMPK1P2 does not encode a receptor, transport protein, enzyme, or transcription factor, and current data does not indicate therapeutic relevance.
