Enoyl-CoA hydratase domain-containing protein 2, mitochondrial pseudogene (ENSG00000256640)

This locus (ENSG00000256640) represents a pseudogene—that is, a DNA sequence resembling a protein-coding gene but lacking the necessary elements to encode a functional protein. Specifically, it is annotated as a pseudogene related to the enoyl-CoA hydratase domain-containing mitochondrial protein family, but it does not produce a functional enoyl-CoA hydratase enzyme and has no documented biological activity or clinical function. Pseudogenes cannot serve as therapeutic targets, do not encode receptors, enzymes, transporters, or transcription factors, and do not have disease roles, drug interactions, or known mechanisms of action. For functional and therapeutic research, only the active, protein-coding **enoyl-CoA hydratase domain-containing protein 2, mitochondrial** should be considered; the pseudogene (ENSG00000256640) does not serve any function and is not clinically relevant[5].
