UBX domain containing 2 pseudogene (ENSG00000232009)

UBX domain containing 2 pseudogene (ENSG00000232009) is annotated as a pseudogene, meaning it closely resembles a protein-coding gene (such as UBXN2A or UBXN2B, both real family members) but contains mutations that prevent production of a functional protein. Pseudogenes generally do not play direct roles in biology or disease and are not considered therapeutic targets. The active, protein-coding family members UBXN2A and UBXN2B participate in ubiquitin-proteasome regulation and cellular protein homeostasis, but the pseudogene ENSG00000232009 does not share their functions[6][5][2]. There is nothing to suggest this entry refers to an actual receptor, enzyme, transporter, or other druggable protein. If you are seeking biological or therapeutic context, refer instead to closely related protein-coding genes such as UBXN2A or UBXN2B[6][5][2].
