Pseudogene similar to part of zinc finger, CCHC domain containing 2

ENSG00000227623 is a **pseudogene** classified as "Pseudogene similar to part of zinc finger, CCHC domain containing 2 (ZCCHC2)." Like most pseudogenes, it is a nonfunctional segment of DNA sharing sequence similarity to an active gene (in this case, ZCCHC2), but it does not produce a functional protein due to disabling mutations or lack of gene expression components[1][2][4]. Pseudogenes can sometimes be transcribed into RNA and, under certain circumstances, may participate in gene regulation by acting as competitive endogenous RNAs or microRNA decoys, but for this specific pseudogene there is no evidence of such biological activity[1][3][4]. It is not considered a therapeutic target, does not encode a receptor, enzyme, or other druggable protein, and is not associated with any established roles as a biomarker or drug interaction partner[1][2][4].
