Protein phosphatase 2 catalytic subunit alpha pseudogene

This gene entry refers to a pseudogene of the alpha isoform of the catalytic subunit of protein phosphatase 2A (PP2A). Pseudogenes are typically nonfunctional segments of DNA that resemble functional genes but do not encode active proteins. The functional protein, Protein phosphatase 2 catalytic subunit alpha (PPP2CA), is a key serine/threonine phosphatase involved in the regulation of cell growth, division, apoptosis, and other signaling events[1][2][3]. However, this pseudogene does not produce a functional protein product and is not considered a therapeutic target. If you intended the functional protein-coding gene (PPP2CA), another entry would apply; for this specific pseudogene, there is no function, drug interaction, or biological/disease relevance documented.
