Mitochondrial ribosomal protein L35 pseudogene 2 (MRPL35P2)

MRPL35P2 (Mitochondrial ribosomal protein L35 pseudogene 2) is a processed pseudogene found in the human genome, originating from the MRPL35 gene, which encodes a protein that forms part of the large subunit of the mitochondrial ribosome[3][6]. Like other processed pseudogenes, MRPL35P2 does not code for a functional protein and has no known biological function, disease association, drug interaction, or role as a biomarker[3][6][8]. It is essentially a “genetic fossil” representing the evolutionary history of its parent gene and is not considered a valid therapeutic target. Key details supporting this assessment: - It is listed in genomic databases (such as GeneCards) specifically as a pseudogene, not as a functional gene or protein[3][6]. - Pseudogenes are generally non-functional and do not encode active proteins[8]. - No biological function, drug interaction, or disease association is indicated in reference databases or the scientific literature[3][6][8]. Summary: MRPL35P2 is a mitochondrially-derived ribosomal pseudogene with no therapeutic or functional relevance, thus it is not a true molecular target.
