Eukaryotic translation elongation factor 1 alpha 2 pseudogene

The eukaryotic translation elongation factor 1 alpha 2 pseudogene (ENSG00000271475, also known as LOC100421842) is a genomic region that shares sequence similarity with the protein-coding gene EEF1A2, which encodes a member of the translation elongation factor family involved in protein synthesis. However, as a pseudogene, this locus does not code for a functional protein product and is generally considered non-functional within the context of coding biology. Pseudogenes are typically not used as drug targets, biomarkers, or involved in biological functions or disease roles due to their lack of expressed, functional protein products[5].
