ISG20L2 pseudogene 2 (ISG20L2P2)

ISG20L2 pseudogene 2 (ISG20L2P2) is a processed pseudogene in the human genome, derived from the ISG20L2 gene (Interferon Stimulated Exonuclease Gene 20 Like 2)[5][3]. It does not code for a protein and therefore does not have the biochemical activity or biological function of its parent gene. Pseudogenes are typically considered non-functional and are not included among molecular targets in drug discovery or biomedical research. The parent gene, ISG20L2, encodes a 3'-5' exoribonuclease involved in rRNA processing, but ISG20L2P2 does not contribute directly to this activity[1][5].\n\nKey insight: For structured information and molecular target databases, a pseudogene such as ISG20L2P2 should not be included as a functional therapeutic target. If you are seeking data on a pharmacologically relevant molecule, refer to the functional gene ISG20L2, not its pseudogene variants[1][5][3].
