60S ribosomal protein L10 pseudogene

The entity indicated as "60S ribosomal protein L10 pseudogene" (ENSG00000250306) is a **pseudogene** corresponding to the functional **60S ribosomal protein L10** gene (RPL10). Pseudogenes are stretches of DNA similar to real genes but are generally considered non-functional and do not encode active proteins. The RPL10 protein is a component of the large, 60S subunit of the ribosome, essential for protein synthesis, but the **pseudogene** itself does not encode a functional protein and thus does not have recognized biological, pathological, therapeutic, or drug interaction roles[3][4]. There is no evidence that this pseudogene is a direct therapeutic target or is associated with known disease mechanisms, functions, or drugs[3]. The functional gene sometimes referred to as RPL10 is distinct and should not be confused with its processed pseudogenes dispersed throughout the genome[1][8]. **Note:** As a pseudogene, this target is not considered a valid therapeutic target, does not have canonical drug interactions, is not implicated directly in biological function, and its inclusion in a target list is likely mistaken or based on error[3][4].
