Ubiquitin like with PHD and ring finger domains 2 pseudogene 1 (UHRF2P1)

Ubiquitin like with PHD and ring finger domains 2 pseudogene 1 (UHRF2P1) is a human pseudogene located on the genome, annotated in databases such as NCBI Gene (ID: 260337)[3][5]. Pseudogenes are DNA sequences that resemble known genes but lack coding potential due to mutations or truncations, and they do not produce a functional protein[1]. Although some pseudogenes can be transcribed and may have a regulatory impact on their parent gene or other genes—such as acting as microRNA decoys or through the generation of regulatory RNAs—UHRF2P1 is not known to code for a protein or function as a therapeutic target. Its "parent" functional gene, UHRF2, is a multidomain regulatory protein implicated in chromatin regulation and DNA methylation pathways, but UHRF2P1 itself has no known direct biological function, druggability, or therapeutic relevance[3][5][1]. There are no drugs, clinical biomarkers, or safety/toxicity data associated with UHRF2P1. Pseudogenes generally are not considered valid therapeutic targets, and there is no evidence that UHRF2P1 deviates from this rule[1][3][5].
