Mitochondrially encoded cytochrome c oxidase II pseudogene 19 (MTCO2P19)
- Target
- MTCO2P19
- Molecular classification
- Other (Pseudogene)
01
Overview
MTCO2P19 is a pseudogene in the human genome, meaning it is a non-functional DNA sequence that closely resembles the protein-coding MT-CO2 gene (mitochondrially encoded cytochrome c oxidase II), but contains mutations, deletions, or other changes that prevent it from encoding a functional protein. The canonical MT-CO2 gene encodes a critical subunit of the mitochondrial respiratory chain complex IV, but MTCO2P19 produces no functional protein and does not participate in respiratory chain activity. MTCO2P19 is annotated in major gene databases as a pseudogene and is not considered a valid drug target or biomarker. Its designation as a "pseudogene" indicates it does not contribute to normal biology, pathology, or pharmacology in humans.

02
Mechanism of action
None; pseudogenes do not act as drug targets or participate in pharmacological mechanisms
03
Biological functions
None assigned; pseudogenes generally do not have a biological function, though some rare cases may be transcribed without producing functional protein
04
Disease associations
None known; MTCO2P19 is not implicated in disease and no pathogenic roles are documented
05
Safety considerations
None documented; pseudogenes do not present known therapeutic safety challenges
06
Interacting drugs
None; as a pseudogene, MTCO2P19 does not encode a druggable protein
07
Biomarkers
None known
