SECIS binding protein 2 pseudogene (null)

SECIS binding protein 2 pseudogene (ENSG00000264104, LOC100129135) is a predicted pseudogene locus in the human genome that likely represents a non-functional remnant related to SECISBP2. It does not produce a protein and has no demonstrated biological, therapeutic, or disease-related significance. In contrast, the canonical SECISBP2 gene encodes a critical RNA-binding protein that is essential for the insertion of selenocysteine into proteins, thereby regulating selenoprotein synthesis and is involved in thyroid hormone metabolism and diverse cellular processes[1][3][4][5][6]. However, SECIS binding protein 2 pseudogene itself is not a molecular target in drug discovery, has no known biological activity, and its cataloging may be relevant only for genomic annotation or evolutionary studies. Key clarification: If you intended to query the functional protein-coding target, the correct gene is “SECIS binding protein 2” (SBP2; gene symbol SECISBP2; ENSG00000187742)[4][5][6]. The pseudogene (ENSG00000264104, LOC100129135) is not recognized as being a drug target, biomarker, or an entity with biological function.
