Neuropilin and tolloid-like 2 pseudogene

The "Neuropilin and tolloid-like 2 pseudogene" (ENSG00000250727) is a **processed pseudogene** that resembles the functional gene NETO2 but no longer encodes a protein and generally lacks regulatory sequences necessary for expression[3][4][5]. Pseudogenes, such as this one, typically arise from duplication or retrotransposition events and are classified as nonfunctional DNA elements. While most pseudogenes are considered "junk DNA," a subset can have regulatory roles, though there is no evidence for this particular pseudogene having such a function[4][6]. It is not considered a therapeutic target or involved in any known drug interactions[3][4]. The entry should not be used when referring to a functional protein target.
