IQ motif and Sec7 domain 3 pseudogene 2 (IQSEC3P2)

IQ motif and Sec7 domain 3 pseudogene 2 (IQSEC3P2) is a human pseudogene, meaning it is a non-functional segment of DNA that closely resembles an active gene, in this case the IQSEC3 gene, but typically does not encode a functional protein[1][8]. Pseudogenes like IQSEC3P2 may occasionally be transcribed, and emerging research suggests some pseudogenes can play a regulatory role in gene expression through RNA-based mechanisms such as acting as microRNA decoys or generating small interfering RNAs[4][6]. However, there is no evidence that IQSEC3P2 has defined molecular, disease, or therapeutic roles. It is included in genomic databases and gene nomenclature resources as a noncoding gene and is not considered a drug target[1][8].
