Zinc finger protein 192 pseudogene 2 (ZKSCAN8P2)

ZKSCAN8 pseudogene 2 (ZKSCAN8P2) is a non-functional genomic sequence highly homologous to the coding ZKSCAN8 gene, itself a member of the zinc finger transcription factor family (characterized by KRAB and SCAN domains)[1][3]. Pseudogenes like ZKSCAN8P2 are typically transcriptionally inactive and do not produce protein products, nor are they involved in receptor signaling, enzymatic activity, or direct disease mechanisms[2]. No documented biological function, disease relevance, drug interactions, or safety concerns are associated with this pseudogene. The existence of multiple aliases reflects historical annotation and sequence similarity to the functionally characterized ZKSCAN8 gene family, but ZKSCAN8P2 itself is not an active target[1][3]. If you intended to ask about the active gene, refer to ZKSCAN8 (Zinc finger with KRAB and SCAN domains 8), which is a protein-coding gene involved in transcriptional regulation and potentially implicated in cancer, but this does not apply to its pseudogene ZKSCAN8P2[1][3].
