PTP4A2 pseudogene 1 (PTP4A2P1)

Target: PTP4A2P1
Molecular classification: Pseudogene

Overview

PTP4A2P1 is a non-coding pseudogene related to the protein tyrosine phosphatase 4A2 gene (PTP4A2). It does not encode a functional protein and is not considered a direct therapeutic target. There is common confusion between PTP4A2P1 and its protein-coding counterpart PTP4A2, which encodes an enzyme involved in cell cycle progression, tumorigenesis, and regulation of intracellular signaling. Additionally, aliases like 'h-PRL-1' are often misattributed to PTP4A2, but more accurately refer to PTP4A1.

Mechanism of action

Not applicable (as a pseudogene, PTP4A2P1 does not have a protein-level mechanism of action)

Biological functions

None (does not encode a functional protein)

Disease associations

None (does not encode a functional protein)

Safety considerations

No safety data for PTP4A2P1 as a target (it is not a protein)

Interacting drugs

None known specifically for PTP4A2P1

Biomarkers

None known specifically for PTP4A2P1
