UBE2Q2P1
Description
The UBE2Q2P1 (UBE2Q2 pseudogene 1) is a pseudo gene located on chromosome 15.
UBE2Q2P1 is a pseudogene located on chromosome 17. It is a non-coding RNA transcript that is thought to be a remnant of a functional gene. It is a copy of the UBE2Q2 gene, which encodes a protein involved in the ubiquitin-proteasome system. UBE2Q2P1 does not produce a functional protein, but it may play a role in regulating gene expression.
The function of UBE2Q2P1 is not fully understood. It is a pseudogene, which means it is a non-functional copy of a real gene. Pseudogenes are often remnants of genes that have been deactivated over time. UBE2Q2P1 is thought to be a pseudogene of the UBE2Q2 gene, which encodes a protein involved in the ubiquitin-proteasome system. The ubiquitin-proteasome system is responsible for degrading proteins that are no longer needed by the cell. UBE2Q2P1 may have played a role in protein degradation in the past, but it is no longer functional.
UBE2Q2P1 is also known as UBE2QP1.
