CXADR pseudogene 2 (CXADRP2)

CXADR pseudogene 2 (CXADRP2) is a human genomic locus designated as a pseudogene by the HUGO Gene Nomenclature Committee (HGNC:33973). As a pseudogene, it is a non-functional DNA sequence similar to the functional "Coxsackie virus and adenovirus receptor" (CXADR) gene. Pseudogenes do not encode active proteins and typically lack the ability to serve as receptors, enzymes, or therapeutic targets. No direct biological, therapeutic, or disease-related functions have been attributed to CXADRP2, and there are no known drugs or biomarkers associated with this locus[5][3]. If you are interested in the active receptor, please refer to "Coxsackievirus and adenovirus receptor" (abbreviation: CAR, gene: CXADR), which is a well-characterized cell adhesion molecule and viral receptor with documented biological and clinical relevance[1][2][6][7].
