VDAC2 pseudogene 3 (VDAC2P3)

VDAC2 pseudogene 3 (VDAC2P3) is a human pseudogene resembling the genomic structure of the VDAC2 gene, which encodes the voltage-dependent anion channel protein 2, but VDAC2P3 is non-coding and does not produce a functional protein. No expression or biological function has been documented for VDAC2P3, and there is no evidence linking it to human disease or therapeutic interventions. It is considered a processed or unprocessed genomic relic without current biomedical relevance[4]. Key clarifications: - This gene is not the same as the functional "Voltage-dependent anion-selective channel protein 2" (VDAC2). - There are multiple VDAC pseudogenes in the human genome, but VDAC2P3 is not expressed or functionally characterized. - All reported molecular functions, disease roles, or drug interactions for the VDAC2 gene do not apply to this pseudogene form[4]. Summary: VDAC2P3 is not a protein-coding gene, is not a therapeutic target, and should not be confused with the functional VDAC2 channel protein[4].

None (not a functional protein/receptor/enzyme/transporter, etc.)
