SUCLA2 pseudogene 1 (SUCLA2P1)

SUCLA2 pseudogene 1 (SUCLA2P1) is a human pseudogene located on chromosome 6, related by sequence homology to the protein-coding gene SUCLA2, which encodes the beta subunit of succinyl-CoA ligase, an enzyme of the mitochondrial citric acid (Krebs) cycle. Pseudogenes such as SUCLA2P1 do not produce functional proteins and do not have known direct roles in normal biological pathways or human disease. There is no evidence to suggest that SUCLA2P1 serves as a therapeutic target, biomarker, or has interactions with drugs. The functionally important gene in this family is SUCLA2, not SUCLA2P1[7]. SUCLA2P1 is a pseudogene and does not produce a functional protein nor serve as a drug target or receptor. The canonical functional gene is SUCLA2 (Succinate-CoA ligase ADP-forming subunit beta, mitochondrial), which is distinct from SUCLA2P1[1][2][3][7]. No known drug interactions, disease roles, or therapeutic applications are associated with SUCLA2P1. If you are seeking structured data about the functional enzyme and its disease associations, refer instead to SUCLA2, not its pseudogene SUCLA2P1.
