Protein phosphatase 1 regulatory subunit 26 pseudogene 2 (PPP1R26P2)

Protein phosphatase 1 regulatory subunit 26 pseudogene 2 (PPP1R26P2) is a human pseudogene, not a protein-coding gene[2][3][4]. It is classified as a processed pseudogene derived from the protein-coding gene *protein phosphatase 1 regulatory subunit 26 (PPP1R26)*[3][4][5]. Pseudogenes like PPP1R26P2 generally do not encode functional proteins and are considered non-functional at the protein level[3]. Some pseudogenes have been shown to exert regulatory roles at the RNA level, such as acting as microRNA decoys or sources of regulatory RNAs, but there is currently no evidence that PPP1R26P2 itself has such functional roles[6][8]. PPP1R26P2 should not be considered a therapeutic target, receptor, enzyme, transporter, or functional protein; it is a noncoding, nonfunctional pseudogene. It is not mentioned as interacting with any drugs, nor is it used as a biomarker, or associated with any specific disease or safety considerations[3][4][2]. If you are seeking a bona fide protein target, *PPP1R26* (not PPP1R26P2) is the functional gene encoding a regulatory subunit that modulates protein phosphatase 1 activity[1][5]. Note: There is nothing inherently "incorrect" about the gene symbol PPP1R26P2 as a pseudogene, but it is not a protein or a druggable therapeutic target, and entering it as such into a drug discovery or pharmacological context would be considered a functional mismatch[3][4][5].
