Transmembrane protein 97 pseudogene 2 (TMEM97P2)

TMEM97P2 (transmembrane protein 97 pseudogene 2) appears to designate a pseudogene related to the functional gene TMEM97, which encodes an integral membrane protein (the sigma-2 receptor) involved in cholesterol homeostasis and cellular proliferation. There is no evidence that TMEM97P2 itself encodes a protein, functions as a receptor, or plays a role in disease or pharmacology. Information on TMEM97P2 is absent from major gene and protein databases and the scientific literature; only TMEM97 has documented cellular roles and therapeutic relevance[1][2][4].
