DEP domain containing 1 pseudogene 2 (DEPDC1P2)

DEP domain containing 1 pseudogene 2 (DEPDC1P2) is a pseudogene in humans, meaning it is a genomic DNA sequence similar to DEPDC1 but does not encode a functional protein or have a direct biological function. It is not known to play an active role in any molecular pathways or diseases, nor is it targeted by therapeutic drugs[4][7][10]. DEPDC1P2 is explicitly indicated as a pseudogene, differentiating it from DEPDC1, which is a functional gene implicated in cancer biology and as a possible therapeutic target in multiple tumors[3][4][6][9]. Pseudogenes like DEPDC1P2 are typically non-coding and lack established molecular, functional, or disease-associated roles[4][7]. DEPDC1P2 is not a molecule or receptor with therapeutic relevance, has no aliases or interacting drugs, does not encode a protein, and represents a non-functional copy of the DEP domain containing 1 gene. For research queries about cancer targets, refer to its functional relative, DEPDC1.
