NOP56 ribonucleoprotein pseudogene 2 (NOP56P2)

NOP56 ribonucleoprotein pseudogene 2 (NOP56P2) is a human pseudogene, meaning it is a DNA sequence that resembles a known functional gene (NOP56) but does not encode a functional protein product[4][2]. Pseudogenes can arise through duplication or retrotransposition events and typically have disabling mutations that prevent normal gene expression or protein function[2][4]. There is no evidence that NOP56P2 functions as a therapeutic target, nor does it have established roles in disease, drug interactions, or biomarker applications. It should not be confused with the functional gene NOP56 ribonucleoprotein, which is involved in ribosome biogenesis and is itself a validated biological target in some contexts[1][3][5].
