SLC35C2 pseudogene 1 (SLC35C2P1)

SLC35C2 pseudogene 1 (SLC35C2P1) is a human gene classified as a pseudogene for SLC35C2, the solute carrier family 35 member C2. Pseudogenes are non-functional genomic DNA sequences similar to normal genes but usually contain mutations that prevent them from being expressed as functional proteins. SLC35C2P1 does not encode a protein and has no known biological function, interaction with drugs, or disease association. It exists as a genomic relic and is not considered a therapeutic target. SLC35C2 is a functional gene encoding a solute carrier protein, but SLC35C2P1 refers specifically to its pseudogene, which does not code for a functional protein and is not relevant as a molecular or therapeutic target.
