PRSS3P2
Description
The PRSS3P2 (PRSS3 pseudogene 2) is a pseudo gene located on chromosome 7.
PRSS3P2 is a pseudogene located on chromosome 7. It is a non-functional copy of the PRSS3 gene, which encodes a serine protease involved in protein digestion. Pseudogenes are inactive genes that have lost their functionality through mutations over evolutionary time. They often serve as remnants of once functional genes and can be used to study evolutionary processes.
The exact function of PRSS3P2 is currently unknown. It is a pseudogene, meaning it is a non-functional copy of a functional gene (PRSS3). Pseudogenes often arise through mutations that disrupt the coding sequence, leading to a loss of function. While PRSS3 is involved in the digestion of proteins, it is unclear if PRSS3P2 has any role in this process.
PRSS3P2 is also known as T6, TRY6.
