Solute carrier family 25 member 1 pseudogene 2 (SLC25A1P2)

Solute carrier family 25 member 1 pseudogene 2 (SLC25A1P2) is a human genomic pseudogene related to the functional gene SLC25A1, which encodes the mitochondrial citrate transporter (also known as mitochondrial citrate/isocitrate carrier or CIC)[1]. SLC25A1P2 itself does not encode a functional protein and thus does not act as a transporter, receptor, enzyme, or therapeutic target. Pseudogenes such as SLC25A1P2 are generally regarded as non-functional remnants of protein-coding genes and do not have established molecular activity, roles in signaling, or direct associations with human disease or drug response. The relevant, functional parent gene SLC25A1 is well-studied for its roles in metabolism and disease, including cancer and mitochondrial disorders, but this information does not apply to the SLC25A1P2 pseudogene[1][3][5][7].
