PTPN11 pseudogene 5 (PTPN11P5)

PTPN11 pseudogene 5 (PTPN11P5) is a genomic segment classified as a pseudogene, related by sequence to the functional PTPN11 gene but lacking evidence of protein-coding potential. Pseudogenes are generally non-functional remnants of genes that have lost their protein-coding ability through mutations or truncations. There is no evidence that PTPN11P5 encodes a functional protein, acts as a therapeutic drug target, or is involved in disease processes. The functional PTPN11 gene, by contrast, encodes the enzyme SHP2, which plays fundamental roles in cell signaling and disease, but PTPN11P5 does not take part in these pathways or serve as a biomarker[1][5][6].
