Fatty acid binding protein 7 pseudogene 2 (FABP7P2)

Fatty acid binding protein 7 pseudogene 2 (FABP7P2) is a non-coding pseudogene related to the functional *FABP7* gene, which encodes a brain-type fatty acid-binding protein involved in fatty acid transport and metabolism in the developing brain and some cancers. The pseudogene itself does not produce a protein and is not considered a therapeutic target or relevant in drug discovery. You have queried a *pseudogene* (FABP7P2), not the functional fatty acid binding protein 7 (FABP7). Pseudogenes by definition do not encode active proteins, are not recognized drug targets, and have no roles in disease or pharmacology unless otherwise demonstrated, which is not the case here. All known *therapeutic target data, disease relevance, and molecular functions* are for FABP7, not for pseudogenes such as FABP7P2[1][3][5].
