H2B clustered histone 2, pseudogene (H2BC2P)

**H2BC2P** is a *pseudogene* encoding a non-functional member of the histone H2B family that is found within a histone gene cluster on human chromosome 6[2]. While histone H2B family proteins play critical roles in packaging eukaryotic DNA into nucleosomes and regulating gene expression, this specific gene does **not** produce a functional protein product and is not known to have biological activity, disease associations, or relevance as a drug target or biomarker[2][1]. The presence of such pseudogenes reflects the evolutionary history of the histone gene family but does not impart a functional role in cellular or disease contexts. Key points: - **H2BC2P is a pseudogene, not a protein-coding or functional regulatory target**[2]. - It is **not considered a therapeutic target** nor involved in any established biological functions, disease roles, or drug interactions. - The gene is included in analyses of genomic structure and evolution but not as an active molecular participant in cell biology or pathology[2][1].
