Phospholipid scramblase 2 pseudogene

Phospholipid scramblase 2 pseudogene (ENSG00000241358) is a genomic DNA sequence highly similar to the protein-coding Phospholipid scramblase 2 (PLSCR2) gene, but it is classified as a pseudogene and does not produce a functional protein. Pseudogenes such as this are not therapeutically actionable and lack biological activity, although they may occasionally play minor regulatory roles at the RNA level. The functional gene, PLSCR2, participates in calcium-dependent phospholipid movement and may be involved in apoptosis, interferon signaling, and immune responses, but the pseudogene itself is not implicated in these pathways[1][3][5]. ENSG00000241358 is not a therapeutic target due to being a pseudogene; its use in research or clinical settings is limited to genomic or evolutionary studies, not therapeutic targeting[1].
