ORM1-like 2 pseudogene

The ORM1-like 2 pseudogene (ENSG00000253528) is a nonfunctional segment of DNA in the human genome that resembles the ORM1-like 2 gene, but contains genetic alterations (such as disabling mutations or the absence of regulatory elements) that prevent it from encoding a functional protein product. Pseudogenes are, by definition, not translated into active proteins and are generally not assigned direct therapeutic or diagnostic roles, although some have regulatory non-coding RNA activity in rare cases. ORM1-like 2 pseudogene is an example of genomic 'junk DNA' reflecting evolutionary processes rather than an active participant in cell biology or disease. If structured information is required for database or curation, mark this entry as not a functional target and filter it out from lists of druggable or pharmacologically relevant targets.
