TMEM167A pseudogene 2 (TMEM167AP2)

TMEM167A pseudogene 2 (TMEM167AP2) is classified as a pseudogene; it is a disabled, nonprotein-coding genomic DNA segment derived from the protein-coding gene TMEM167A[1][4]. Pseudogenes typically do not produce functional protein, and most are not considered molecular drug targets[3]. There is no current evidence that TMEM167A pseudogene 2 has any physiological, pathological, or pharmacological function. Its parent gene, TMEM167A (Transmembrane protein 167A), is involved in vesicle transport and the constitutive secretory pathway in the Golgi apparatus, but the pseudogene does not share these activities[2][6][7]. No drugs, biomarkers, or therapeutic relevance are known or reported for TMEM167A pseudogene 2. According to recognized gene annotation resources, TMEM167AP2 is designated as a pseudogene without known coding or regulatory function[1][4]. Thus, this entity is not a valid therapeutic target and should not be included in curated lists of actionable molecular targets.
