Eukaryotic translation elongation factor 1 delta pseudogene 2 (EEF1DP2)

EEF1DP2 is a non-functional pseudogene related in sequence to the human EEF1D gene, which encodes a subunit of the elongation factor 1 complex involved in translation. Unlike EEF1D, which participates in guanine nucleotide exchange during mRNA translation and is a legitimate protein-coding gene[1], EEF1DP2 lacks references indicating protein expression, functional impact, or disease relevance. Pseudogenes like EEF1DP2 are typically genomic remnants, often arising from gene duplication or retrotransposition, and do not produce functional protein products in vivo. EEF1DP2 should not be confused with its functional paralog, **eukaryotic translation elongation factor 1 delta** (EEF1D), which acts as part of the translation elongation factor 1 complex in eukaryotic cells[1]. In summary, EEF1DP2 is a **pseudogene**, does not encode a functional receptor, enzyme, or drug target, and is not clinically or pharmacologically relevant.
