Coiled-coil-helix-coiled-coil-helix domain containing 2 pseudogene 6 (CHCHD2P6)

Coiled-coil-helix-coiled-coil-helix domain containing 2 pseudogene 6 (CHCHD2P6) is a human pseudogene located at chromosome 8:55228427-55229053, and is a retrocopy derived from the protein-coding gene CHCHD2[10][11]. As a pseudogene, CHCHD2P6 does not encode a functional protein and is not considered a therapeutic target; it lacks well-established biological functions or roles in disease beyond potential indirect associations in genetic studies[9][10]. There are no known drugs, mechanisms of action, clinical biomarkers, or notable therapeutic challenges directly related to this pseudogene.\n\nKey clarifications:\n- **Not a therapeutic target**: CHCHD2P6 is a pseudogene, so it is not a receptor, enzyme, transporter, or druggable target[9][10].\n- **Alias and identifiers**: The abbreviation CHCHD2P6 and identifiers such as HGNC:39590 and ENSG00000235084 are standard[9].\n- **No reported protein function**: No evidence supports expression of a functional protein or direct biological activity[9][10][11].\n- **Parental gene**: Its parental functional gene, CHCHD2, is involved in mitochondrial function and apoptosis, but those roles do not apply to this pseudogene[12].
