MARK2 pseudogene 12 (MARK2P12)

MARK2 pseudogene 12 (MARK2P12) is annotated as a pseudogene, meaning it is a non-functional DNA segment that is homologous to the coding gene for microtubule affinity-regulating kinase 2 (MARK2), but it does not encode a functional protein[3][5]. Pseudogenes like MARK2P12 typically arise from gene duplication or retrotransposition events and accumulate mutations that prevent normal protein translation. While some pseudogenes have regulatory roles through their RNA transcripts by acting as microRNA decoys or affecting the stability of related mRNAs[4][6], there is currently no specific evidence that MARK2P12 has any known biological or disease role, nor involvement in drug targeting or safety concerns.
