CTDSPL2 pseudogene 1 (CTDSPL2P1)

CTDSPL2 pseudogene 1 is a pseudogene of the CTD small phosphatase like 2 (CTDSPL2) gene. Pseudogenes are generally considered non-functional DNA segments resulting from gene duplication or retrotransposition; most do not encode functional proteins or have direct therapeutic relevance[3]. There is no evidence that CTDSPL2P1 is transcribed or translated into a functional product, nor that it serves as a clinically relevant receptor, enzyme, transporter, or other active drug target. Functional studies and therapeutic research primarily concern the parent gene, CTDSPL2, a nuclear serine/threonine phosphatase involved in transcriptional regulation and cell cycle control, with emerging roles in cancer biology[1][2]. CTDSPL2 pseudogene 1 (CTDSPL2P1) is not a recognized therapeutic target; it is a pseudogene lacking confirmed molecular or therapeutic relevance[3].
