Mediator complex subunit 28 pseudogene 2 (MED28P2)

MED28P2 is a genomic region classified as a pseudogene due to its resemblance to the Mediator complex subunit 28 (MED28) gene but lacking an intact protein-coding sequence[1]. Pseudogenes result from gene duplication or retrotransposition events followed by loss of function; while some pseudogenes can influence gene regulatory networks via RNA interference or as competitive endogenous RNAs, there is currently no evidence that MED28P2 has such roles[1][2][3]. It is not a therapeutic target, receptor, enzyme, or transporter and does not produce a protein product. Pseudogenes generally have no function but may occasionally have roles in genome evolution or regulation, as described for other specific cases in the literature[2][3]. In summary, MED28P2 is not a canonical therapeutic target, and its classification as a pseudogene means it lacks the functional attributes required for drug development, disease association, or use as a biomarker[1][2][3].
