RNA binding motif protein 22 pseudogene 2 (RBM22P2)

RNA binding motif protein 22 pseudogene 2 (RBM22P2) is annotated as a human pseudogene related to the protein-coding gene RNA binding motif protein 22 (RBM22)[6]. Pseudogenes such as RBM22P2 are defective genomic copies of protein-coding genes that have lost their protein-coding ability due to mutations or deletions, and they are not known to encode functional proteins or to serve as therapeutic targets. There are a number of related RBM22 pseudogenes in the human genome, scattered across chromosomes, but none are classified as functional drug targets or have mechanistic or disease associations[3][4][6]. Key clarification: - The protein-coding gene RNA binding motif protein 22 (RBM22) encodes a multifunctional RNA-binding protein involved in essential processes such as pre-mRNA splicing and gene regulation with implications in cell survival and cancer; however, RBM22P2 specifically is a non-coding pseudogene and does not share these functions[2][3][4][6]. - There are no clinical drugs, biomarkers, or disease indications related to RBM22P2.
