PMS2P5
Description
The PMS2P5 (PMS1 homolog 2, mismatch repair system component pseudogene 5) is a pseudo gene located on chromosome 7.
PMS2P5 is a pseudogene located on chromosome 7. It is a non-coding RNA gene, meaning that it does not produce a protein. PMS2P5 is similar in sequence to the functional gene PMS2, which is involved in DNA mismatch repair. However, PMS2P5 lacks the necessary features for protein production. The function of PMS2P5 is currently unknown, but it may play a role in regulating the expression of PMS2.
PMS2P5, also known as the PMS2 pseudogene 5, is a non-coding RNA gene that is transcribed but not translated into a protein. It shares significant sequence homology with the functional PMS2 gene, which encodes a DNA mismatch repair protein involved in maintaining genomic stability. However, PMS2P5 lacks the necessary open reading frame and regulatory elements required for protein synthesis. While its specific function remains unknown, it is speculated that it might play a role in regulating the expression of the functional PMS2 gene through interactions with its regulatory regions or by acting as a decoy for regulatory elements. Further research is needed to elucidate the precise role of PMS2P5 in cellular processes.
PMS2P5 is also known as PMS2L5, PMS7.
