Tetratricopeptide repeat, ankyrin repeat and coiled-coil containing 2 pseudogene

ENSG00000273736 refers to the **Tetratricopeptide repeat, ankyrin repeat and coiled-coil containing 2 pseudogene**, also known as the TANC2 pseudogene[3][1]. A pseudogene is a DNA sequence similar to a known gene but generally non-functional due to mutations or lack of regulatory elements required for gene expression[3]. ENSG00000273736 is not the protein-coding **TANC2 gene** (which encodes a protein involved in postsynaptic density and neurodevelopmental disorders), but rather a related, non-functional pseudogene[3][1][7]. Given these facts: - It is **not considered a therapeutic target** (not a receptor, enzyme, transporter, or functionally expressed protein). - There are **no established biological functions, molecular pathways, or associated drugs**. - **Aliases** are limited to "TANC2 pseudogene" and its Ensembl identifier. - There is **no evidence** linking this pseudogene directly to disease, functional biological processes, or use as a biomarker. If your intent was to query the **functional TANC2 gene or protein** (ENSG00000170921), please clarify, as that entry is biologically relevant and has emerging therapeutic and disease biology interest[6][5]. As entered, ENSG00000273736 is a **pseudogene** and not a valid therapeutic, diagnostic, or research target[3].
