Trinucleotide repeat containing 18 pseudogene 2 (TNRC18P2)

Trinucleotide repeat containing 18 pseudogene 2 (TNRC18P2) is classified as a human pseudogene, meaning it is a DNA sequence similar to a known gene (TNRC18) but generally lacks the ability to code for a functional protein due to mutations or regulatory changes[5]. Pseudogenes like TNRC18P2 may result from gene duplication or retrotransposition, and while some pseudogenes play regulatory roles or are transcribed, TNRC18P2 does not have established biological functions or relevance as a therapeutic or diagnostic target. The relevant protein-coding gene with a similar name, TNRC18, is involved in chromatin binding and is not a receptor or enzyme, but TNRC18P2 itself does not code for protein and does not belong to major target families such as G protein-coupled receptors, ion channels, or enzymes[5][7].
