Retinoic acid receptor responder 2 pseudogene 7 (RARRES2P7)

Retinoic acid receptor responder 2 pseudogene 7 (RARRES2P7) is classified as a processed pseudogene—a genomic DNA sequence that is similar to a functional gene (in this case, likely RARRES2/Chemerin), but contains mutations or lacks necessary elements for normal expression, precluding it from encoding a functional protein. Pseudogenes like RARRES2P7 are typically regarded as non-functional, though some pseudogenes have been shown to be transcribed and, in certain contexts, could have regulatory RNA functions, but no such evidence is established for RARRES2P7 specifically. As such, RARRES2P7 is not considered a biological or therapeutic target. Key point: RARRES2P7 is a non-coding pseudogene, not a functional receptor, enzyme, or protein, and should not be considered a drug target.
