Heterogeneous nuclear ribonucleoprotein C pseudogene 9 (HNRNPCP9)

HNRNPCP9 is a pseudogene resembling the functional gene HNRNPC, which encodes heterogeneous nuclear ribonucleoprotein C1/C2, an RNA-binding protein involved in pre-mRNA processing, splicing, and cancer biology[1][2][3][4]. Pseudogenes like HNRNPCP9 typically do not encode active proteins and are not considered valid therapeutic targets or disease biomarkers. The confusion may arise because the parent gene HNRNPC is biologically important and implicated in multiple disease contexts, including cancer and RNA metabolism[2][4]. However, HNRNPCP9 itself lacks evidence of translational capacity, functional regulatory RNA, or disease involvement.
