SUMO2 pseudogene 21 (SUMO2P21)

SUMO2 pseudogene 21 is a non-functional pseudogene related to the *SUMO2* gene, which encodes a small ubiquitin-like modifier involved in post-translational modification of proteins. Pseudogenes like SUMO2P21 arise through mutations that disable protein-coding capacity; they generally do not produce functional proteins or play direct biological roles, nor are they considered therapeutic targets[4][3][5]. Numerous SUMO2-related pseudogenes exist in the human genome; these mostly represent genomic "fossils" without clinical significance.\n\nIf you intended to ask about the functional protein SUMO2 (Small ubiquitin-like modifier 2), let me know, as that is a distinct, biologically active protein involved in sumoylation and diverse cellular processes[1][2][5].
