Eukaryotic translation initiation factor 2 subunit 2 beta pseudogene 2 (EIF2S2P2)

Eukaryotic translation initiation factor 2 subunit 2 beta pseudogene 2 (EIF2S2P2) is a human pseudogene with sequence similarity to a segment of the EIF2S2 protein-coding gene, which encodes a subunit of eukaryotic translation initiation factor 2 involved in the initiation of protein synthesis. As a pseudogene, EIF2S2P2 does not produce a functional protein and is generally regarded as non-functional in biological processes; it is not recognized as a therapeutic target, and no disease associations or drug interactions have been reported[1]. *Do not confuse this with the active, protein-coding EIF2S2 gene, which has known biological roles and possible disease relevance[3][5].* Note: If your inquiry was regarding the canonical, protein-coding EIF2S2 gene (not the pseudogene), that is a different entity with distinct clinical relevance and biological functions[3][5]. This entry refers specifically to the pseudogene ENSG00000217078/EIF2S2P2, which is non-coding.
