EI24 pseudogene 2 (EI24P2)

EI24 pseudogene 2 (EI24P2) is classified as a pseudogene in the human genome. Pseudogenes are DNA sequences that resemble functional genes but lack the ability to encode functional proteins due to mutations or deletions. EI24P2 is homologous to the EI24 gene, which is protein-coding and acts as a tumor suppressor, but EI24P2 itself does not produce a functional protein and does not serve as a druggable molecular target or biomarker[7]. There is no evidence for EI24P2 having a direct biological function, associated disease role, or interaction with drugs. It is annotated in genomic databases for research and comparative genomics, but it is not clinically actionable. If your intent was to find information on the active EI24 gene/protein, please refer to "EI24 autophagy-associated transmembrane protein," which is a protein-coding gene involved in autophagy and cell death signaling[1][3][4]. EI24P2, in contrast, is a non-coding pseudogene[7].
