NADH:ubiquinone oxidoreductase subunit B9 pseudogene 2 (NDUFB9P2)

NADH:ubiquinone oxidoreductase subunit B9 pseudogene 2 (NDUFB9P2) is a processed pseudogene related to the protein-coding gene NDUFB9, which encodes a subunit of mitochondrial complex I (NADH dehydrogenase [ubiquinone] 1 beta subcomplex subunit 9)[1][4]. Pseudogenes like NDUFB9P2 generally arise from duplication or retrotransposition events and do not encode a functional protein[4]. While some pseudogenes regulate gene expression via noncoding RNA or by acting as microRNA decoys, there is no current evidence that NDUFB9P2 has any established biological function, disease association, or value as a drug target[1][2][4]. Pseudogenes can complicate genetic studies and annotations but do not typically serve as receptors, enzymes, or other canonical therapeutic targets[4]. NDUFB9P2 is a pseudogene with no established function, clinical relevance, or drug target potential, in contrast to its parent gene NDUFB9 which encodes a functional mitochondrial complex I subunit. NDUFB9P2 should not be used as a synonym for NDUFB9.
