PRP38 domain containing A pseudogene 2 (PRPF38AP2)

PRP38 domain containing A pseudogene 2 (PRPF38AP2) is a human pseudogene located on chromosome 10 (genomic coordinates: chr10:17577362-17577913 in GRCh38). As a pseudogene, it is a non-functional segment of DNA that resembles a gene but typically does not produce a protein. Pseudogenes may have originated from duplication or retrotransposition events and often lack functional open reading frames. While many pseudogenes do not serve known biological functions, recent research suggests some may play regulatory roles through non-coding RNA mechanisms, though there is no evidence indicating PRPF38AP2 has such a function[5][9][7]. No evidence indicates this pseudogene is involved in disease, interacts with drugs, or serves as a biomarker. There are no reported safety concerns, mechanisms of action, or therapeutic relevance for this locus.
