Sorbitol dehydrogenase 2, pseudogene (SORD2P)

The "Sorbitol dehydrogenase 2, pseudogene" (abbreviated SORD2P) is a pseudogene—a segment of DNA that resembles a gene but is typically nonfunctional and does not encode a functional protein or RNA product[5]. Unlike functional proteins such as sorbitol dehydrogenase, which plays a critical role in carbohydrate metabolism by converting sorbitol to fructose, SORD2P does not have known enzymatic function, physiological activity, or implication as a drug target[1][5][3]. There are no known molecular functions, associated disease roles, or drug interactions for SORD2P. This entry is not considered a therapeutic target, and its naming may lead to confusion with the active sorbitol dehydrogenase (gene symbol SORD), which is a distinct, functional enzyme[1][5].
