MIX23 pseudogene 2 (MIX23P2)

MIX23P2 (MIX23 pseudogene 2) is a nonfunctional pseudogene located in the human genome. It is a DNA sequence homologous to the functional MIX23 gene (mitochondrial matrix import factor 23), which plays a role in mitochondrial protein import, but unlike MIX23, MIX23P2 does not encode a functional protein due to disruptions in its genetic sequence[3][5][8][9]. Pseudogenes such as MIX23P2 are typically the product of gene duplication or retrotransposition followed by mutational inactivation[8][10]. There is no evidence that MIX23P2 functions in biological processes or disease, nor is it considered a target for therapeutic intervention.
