PTPN11 pseudogene 1 (PTPN11P1)

PTPN11 pseudogene 1 (PTPN11P1) is a non-functional genomic element bearing sequence similarity to the protein-coding PTPN11 gene, which encodes the tyrosine-protein phosphatase SHP2. Unlike the protein-coding gene, this pseudogene does not produce a functional protein product and is not considered a biological or therapeutic target. Functional attributes and disease associations described for PTPN11 (SHP2) do not apply to PTPN11P1.\n\nNote: If you are seeking information on the protein-coding gene PTPN11 or its protein product SHP2, both are major regulators in signal transduction and recognized therapeutic targets in oncology and other diseases[1][2][3][4]. The pseudogene PTPN11P1 does not share these characteristics.
