MOB kinase activator 1A pseudogene 2 (MOB1AP2)

MOB kinase activator 1A pseudogene 2 (MOB1AP2) is a human pseudogene and does not produce a functional protein. It is classified as a pseudogene because it lacks protein-coding capability, likely due to mutations or genomic rearrangement. While some pseudogenes can play regulatory roles—such as generating non-coding RNAs that influence gene expression—there is no evidence that MOB1AP2 has an established biological or clinical function. It is not a drug target, and there are no drugs, biomarkers, or disease roles associated with this gene[1][3]. The parent functional proteins of the MOB family, notably MOB1A/B, are key adaptors in the Hippo signaling pathway involved in cell cycle and tissue growth; however, MOB1AP2 itself is not implicated in these pathways due to its pseudogene status[2][4].
