WD repeat domain, phosphoinositide interacting 2 pseudogene (WIPI2 pseudogene (not commonly abbreviated; WIPI2 is for the functional gene))

The WD repeat domain, phosphoinositide interacting 2 pseudogene (**ENSG00000270993**) is a genomic sequence related to the functional *WIPI2* gene, which encodes a WD40 repeat protein involved in autophagy[1][3]. Pseudogenes are typically non-functional DNA segments derived from ancestral genes and do not produce active proteins or participate directly in biological processes or disease[1][3][10]. Most published information concerning "WD repeat domain, phosphoinositide interacting 2" (WIPI2) applies to the protein-coding gene rather than its pseudogene, which is not considered a therapeutic target, biomarker, or pharmacological entity[1][3][10][11].
