HSD17B7P2
Description
The HSD17B7P2 (hydroxysteroid 17-beta dehydrogenase 7 pseudogene 2) is a pseudo gene located on chromosome 10.
HSD17B7P2 is a pseudogene located on chromosome 17. It is a non-functional copy of the HSD17B7 gene, which encodes an enzyme involved in steroid hormone metabolism. Pseudogenes are often inactive due to mutations that disrupt their ability to produce a functional protein.
The specific function of HSD17B7P2 is currently unknown. It is a pseudogene, meaning it is a non-functional copy of a functional gene (HSD17B7). Pseudogenes often arise through mutations that disrupt their ability to produce a functional protein.
HSD17B7P2 is also known as HSD17B7, Hsd17b_2, bA291L22.1.
