MRM3 pseudogene 2 (MRM3P2)

MRM3 pseudogene 2 (MRM3P2, also called RNMTL1P2 or RNA methyltransferase like 1 pseudogene 2) is a human pseudogene that is homologous to MRM3, a gene encoding mitochondrial rRNA methyltransferase 3, but does not produce a functional protein[1]. Pseudogenes like MRM3P2 may regulate their parent gene’s expression or other genes at the RNA level by acting as decoys or competing for microRNAs and RNA-binding proteins, influencing mRNA stability and translation[2][4][6]. However, there is no current evidence that MRM3P2 serves as a therapeutic target, nor are there drugs, biomarkers, or safety issues associated with this non-coding genomic element.
