Cyclin D3 pseudogene 2 (CCND3P2)

Cyclin D3 pseudogene 2 (CCND3P2) is a human pseudogene—it is a non-coding genetic element similar in sequence to the functional cyclin D3 (CCND3) gene but does not encode a functional protein. Pseudogenes are remnants of genes that have lost their protein-coding ability or are no longer expressed in the cell. As such, CCND3P2 does not have a recognized role as a therapeutic target, does not encode a protein with biological function, and is not associated with disease mechanisms, drug interactions, or biomarker status[2]. Misidentification or confusion may occur between CCND3P2 and the functional CCND3 gene, which encodes the G1/S-specific cyclin-D3, a cell cycle regulator[1][6].\n\nKey clarification:\nCCND3P2 is not a protein, not a receptor, not a functional gene product, and has no established role in disease or therapy. If the intent is to target cyclin D3 itself, then "Cyclin D3" (CCND3) should be used instead. CCND3P2 should not be used as a therapeutic target or biomarker name[2].
