UFM1 pseudogene 2 (UFM1P2)

UFM1 pseudogene 2 (UFM1P2) is a noncoding genomic locus annotated as a pseudogene of ubiquitin fold modifier 1 (UFM1), a ubiquitin-like modifier involved in ufmylation, a post-translational protein modification[3][5]. Unlike functional UFM1, UFM1P2 does not encode a protein and has no documented biological function, disease associations, or therapeutic relevance. The existence of UFM1P2 is not generally associated with clinical, pharmacological, or biomarker research. The functional activities of UFM1 and its pathway—including roles in cellular stress, neurodevelopment, and disease—do not pertain to UFM1P2[1][5]. If searching for a therapeutic target, "UFM1P2" is not appropriate; the relevant target is "ubiquitin fold modifier 1" (UFM1), not its pseudogene. UFM1P2 does not encode a receptor, enzyme, or druggable protein, and entries or research on this locus should be interpreted with caution or redirected to the functional UFM1 gene.
