Nucleosome assembly protein 1-like 1 pseudogene 2 (NAP1L1P2)

Nucleosome assembly protein 1-like 1 pseudogene 2 (NAP1L1P2) is a pseudogene in the human genome, annotated as a nonfunctional sequence similar to the functional NAP1L1 gene, which encodes a histone chaperone involved in nucleosome assembly[1][4][5]. Pseudogenes like NAP1L1P2 are characterized by their resemblance to protein-coding genes, but they have accumulated mutations (such as frameshifts or premature stop codons) that prevent them from producing a functional protein product[2][3]. While some pseudogenes may have regulatory roles at the RNA level (e.g., as decoys for microRNAs or sources of noncoding RNAs), there is no specific evidence that NAP1L1P2 has such functions or disease associations[1][3]. As such, it is not considered a therapeutic target, receptor, enzyme, or a molecule of clinical interest for drug development. Note: This entry is considered “incorrect” for a typical therapeutic target list because it is a pseudogene and does not produce a functional protein or have a validated direct biological activity or druggability[2][3].
