PQ loop repeat containing 1 pseudogene 2 (PQLC1P2)

PQ loop repeat containing 1 pseudogene 2 (PQLC1P2) is a processed pseudogene in the human genome, generated from the parent PQ loop repeat containing 1 (PQLC1) gene[10][7]. Pseudogenes are genomic loci resembling protein-coding genes, but generally lack protein-coding capacity due to mutations and premature stop codons. This pseudogene belongs to the family of membrane proteins bearing PQ-loop repeats, which are structurally characterized but often functionally uncharacterized[9][7]. There is no evidence of protein expression or functional activity for PQLC1P2. Thus, it is not considered a receptor, transporter, enzyme, or other canonical drug target in pharmacology. While pseudogenes can sometimes play regulatory roles—such as competing for microRNA binding or modulating their ancestral gene's expression—no such regulatory or disease involvement has been reported for PQLC1P2[5][8][11][7][10].
