KMT5A pseudogene 2 (KMT5AP2)

KMT5AP2 is a pseudogene, meaning it is a non-functional genomic DNA sequence similar to the functional KMT5A gene, which encodes a lysine methyltransferase active in chromatin regulation. There is no evidence that KMT5AP2 encodes a functional protein or that it plays a role in biological processes, disease, or serves as a therapeutic target[7]. KMT5A, by contrast, is an active enzyme with clear roles in histone methylation and disease, but KMT5AP2 is simply a related pseudogene without known molecular or therapeutic functionality[7]. If information on the active KMT5A enzyme is needed, please specify.
