HLA-B associated transcript 2 pseudogene (No canonical abbreviation; "BAT2P" and "HLA-B associated transcript 2 pseudogene" are used, but ENSG00000233383 is not the coding gene for PRRC2A/BAT2, which may sometimes be referred to as "HLA-B associated transcript 2")

HLA-B associated transcript 2 pseudogene (ENSG00000233383) is a genomic locus in the human chromosome 6 major histocompatibility complex (MHC) region that shares high sequence similarity with HLA-B associated transcript 2 (BAT2/PRRC2A), but lacks protein-coding capacity and is considered a pseudogene. It is not recognized as a functional protein-coding gene, receptor, or enzyme, and is generally excluded from lists of therapeutic targets. While some pseudogenes may have regulatory roles or expression in certain tissues or cancers, there is no specific or canonical biological, disease, or pharmaceutical role for this pseudogene. If you were searching for "HLA-B associated transcript 2" as a protein-coding therapeutic target, that would be PRRC2A (BAT2), encoded by ENSG00000204469. PRRC2A is a protein-coding gene and is sometimes confused due to aliasing, but ENSG00000233383 is not PRRC2A and is not a protein-coding target. If you need information about PRRC2A (BAT2), specify "PRRC2A" or ENSG00000204469.
