Heterogeneous nuclear ribonucleoprotein C pseudogene 2 (HNRNPCP2)

Heterogeneous nuclear ribonucleoprotein C pseudogene 2 (HNRNPCP2) is a genomic sequence classified as a pseudogene; it shares sequence similarity with heterogeneous nuclear ribonucleoprotein C genes but does not encode a functional protein. Pseudogenes like HNRNPCP2 are typically remnants of duplicated or otherwise inactivated genes and are not considered biologically active. There is no evidence in current literature or major gene databases that HNRNPCP2 is involved in disease, acts as a therapeutic target, or displays any biological functions apart from sequence homology to its parent gene family[1]. This entry reflects the distinction that HNRNPCP2 is not a functional target—and is thus not suitable for inclusion in structured drug or receptor databases. If the intended target is HNRNPC (the functional protein), it is recommended to use "heterogeneous nuclear ribonucleoprotein C (HNRNPC)" instead[1][3][7].
