Mannosidase alpha class 1A member 2 pseudogene 1 (MAN1A2P1)

Mannosidase alpha class 1A member 2 pseudogene 1 (MAN1A2P1) is a human pseudogene that shares sequence similarity with the functional mannosidase alpha class 1A member 2 gene but is not thought to encode a functional protein[1][4]. Pseudogenes typically arise through gene duplication or retrotransposition followed by mutations that prevent protein production, such as early stop codons or frameshifts[4]. While some pseudogenes have roles in gene regulation or as molecular sponges for RNA molecules, there are no published data supporting such functions for MAN1A2P1 specifically[1][4]. Thus, MAN1A2P1 is not a current focus for therapeutic or diagnostic applications.
