Tumor suppressing subtransferable candidate 2 pseudogene (TSSC2)

TSSC2 is classified as a human pseudogene, meaning it shares high sequence similarity with a protein-coding gene but no longer produces a functional protein or is not known to be translated[3][4][7][12]. Located on chromosome 11p15.4, it is a transcribed, unprocessed pseudogene, meaning it may be transcribed into RNA but lacks functional protein coding capability[3][7][9][12]. TSSC2 has no known protein product, molecular function, or established biological or therapeutic role. There is no evidence to date supporting its function as a drug target, biomarker, or contributor to disease; it is not considered a druggable receptor, enzyme, transporter, or signaling molecule[1][3][4][7][12]. The abbreviation "ALG1 pseudogene" in some aliases refers to sequence similarity with asparagine-linked glycosylation 1 (ALG1), but TSSC2 is not itself an active enzyme or receptor.
