Pseudogene similar to part of S-phase kinase-associated protein 2 (ENSG00000239227)

ENSG00000239227 encodes a pseudogene with sequence similarity to part of S-phase kinase-associated protein 2 (SKP2), also known as P45 SKP2[1]. Pseudogenes are segments of DNA similar to known genes but lacking the ability to encode a functional protein. This gene does not produce a functional receptor, enzyme, transporter, nor is it a valid therapeutic target. It may be referenced in gene catalogs due to its homology to the SKP2 locus, but should not be confused with the actual *SKP2* gene, which encodes a substrate recognition component of an E3 ubiquitin ligase and is involved in cell cycle regulation, cancer, and other diseases[2][5]. No drug interactions, disease mechanisms, or clinical utility are associated with ENSG00000239227.
