Similar to part of the heterogeneous nuclear ribonucleoprotein H2 pseudogene (ENSG00000230621)

This entry refers to a pseudogene similar to a portion of the heterogeneous nuclear ribonucleoprotein H2 gene. Pseudogenes are genomic sequences that resemble known genes but have lost their ability to code for a functional protein, typically due to mutations or incomplete transcriptional/translation capacity[1][5]. Although previously considered "junk DNA," many pseudogenes are now known to participate in regulatory networks affecting gene expression. They can act through various mechanisms, such as serving as decoys for microRNAs or producing long non-coding RNAs that alter gene regulation epigenetically[1][3][5]. However, not all pseudogenes are functional, and there is usually no protein product, making them irrelevant as direct therapeutic targets for drug development.
