Sorting nexin 18 pseudogene 2 (SNX18P2)

Sorting nexin 18 pseudogene 2 (SNX18P2) is a processed pseudogene located on human chromosome 9q22.31. As a pseudogene, SNX18P2 does not encode a protein and has no known biological function. Pseudogenes like SNX18P2 are typically remnants of genes that have lost their protein-coding ability through evolutionary processes. This entity should not be confused with the SNX18 gene, which is a functional member of the sorting nexin family involved in membrane trafficking and autophagy. SNX18P2 has no demonstrated or expected role as a therapeutic target, is not implicated in disease, and has no validated functions in human biology. In summary, SNX18P2 is a non-coding pseudogene with no established relevance as a receptor, enzyme, transporter, or therapeutic target.
