Paraspeckle component 1 pseudogene 2 (PSPC1P2)

Paraspeckle component 1 pseudogene 2 (PSPC1P2) is a *pseudogene* related by sequence to the PSPC1 gene, which encodes a multifunctional RNA-binding protein that is a core structural component of nuclear paraspeckles involved in gene expression regulation via RNA nuclear retention[1]. Pseudogenes like PSPC1P2 are generally considered non-functional, do not encode an active protein, and are not directly involved in cellular processes or disease. All functional and disease-relevant information pertains to the protein-coding **PSPC1** gene or protein, not its pseudogene[1][5]. **Note:** If you intended to ask about the functional **paraspeckle component 1 (PSPC1)** protein, and not its pseudogene, please clarify; the protein itself is an RNA-binding factor important for paraspeckle biology and has emerging roles in cancer biology, as described in sources above[2][4][5].
